I visited Woodbridge Wireless and VWS sites. I worked W4IY
(Woodbridge) on 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters, some at < 1/2 mile
range on low power. I was hoping to do the same with VWS, but
ran into some honey do's Sunday morn and had to rush to Burke Lake
B4 shutdown, so I didn't have time to find them on the bands. <br>
<br>
HF propagation was poor on all bands. I made 22 contacts in 2
days of occasional operating. I tried on 6 meters with the hope
that some local was listening, but no joy. Ditto for 2 meter SSB.<br>
<br>
I didn't finish my install till Saturday morn, so all testing and
tuning of antennas was during the contest.<br>
<br>
I had a blast!<br>

to the fuse box input terminal and a nearby ground gave
me 8 volts in the cab. I got 12 volt with a local
ground. I don't have time to foll with it so I
connected direct to battery. I'm making a video for
YouTube. <br>
Is AMRAD doing FD? If not perhaps members have other
sites they might attend? Who are the big players?</font><br>

this year I towed my 94 Ranger to the scrap yard. I
had it set up for mobile ops, particularly Field Day.
I pulled the setup out of the old truck before junking
it. I had the 12 volt line running right to the bolts
on the battery clamps with inline fuses on pos and neg
wires. It was a bit awkward, but worked for 15
years. I now have a 2008 Ranger and I looked in the
engine compartment today for a good hook up point.
There is a large pair of wires (1/4 inch or more)
running from the battery 18 inches to the engine
compartment fuse box. They are bolted on and it looks
like a good place to hook up. About 2~3 inches away
is a ground bold welded to the chassis. A concern I
have is moving the connection away from directly on
the battery. Will RF gremlins be encouraged to mess
with the trucks systems? Should I put chokes on the
#6 wire I'm using? Should I put a capacitor between
pos and ground at the trucks fuse box? I guess going
the other way anything I do to keep the radio from
putting RF into the truck will also work in keeping
truck generated RF out of my rig, is that true?</font><br>
