Re: Booth Park Opening Sunday May 18th
I'll do what I can on Sat. Maybe get some stuff in the shed, too. I had a thought...on the open table, maybe a rig with the top off and some tools and a meter laying by. Looks like we are repairing/modifying some equipment. We did that many years ago with an old Hammarlund and got some conversation out of it. Just a suggestion...won't hurt my feelings if we don't do it. bb, kpr

Hi Folks,
?
Booth parks opening for the season is this Sunday. I believe the car show starts at 9am and the park festivities around noon. Is anyone interested in hanging out for a few hours during the festivities? Id like to open for a few hours in case we get some public visitors - I think it goes from 12-4, Id like to at least hang around until 3, then I have dinner plans.
?
Let me know. I will probably get there for 9am to get a parking spot in the main lot.
?
Saturday (5-17) Id like to do a little inside the club house clean up to make it presentable (vacuum, clean the desks, maybe clean up some wiring).
?
Thanks,

Text Format - Armed Forces Day
ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND TEST (10 May 2025) The Department of Defense will host this year¡¯s Armed Forces Day (AFD) Crossband Test, scheduled for May 10, 2025. This annual event is open to all licensed amateur radio operators and will not impact any public or private communications. For more than 50 years, military and amateur stations have taken part in this event, which is an interoperability exercise between hobbyist and government radio stations. The AFD Crossband Test is a unique opportunity to test two-way communications between military communicators and radio stations in the Amateur Radio Service (ARS), as authorized in 47 CFR 97.111. These tests provide opportunities and challenges for radio operators to demonstrate individual technical skills in a tightly controlled exercise scenario that does not impact any public or private communications. Military stations will transmit on selected military frequencies and will announce the specific ARS frequencies monitored. All times are ZULU (Z), and all frequencies are Upper Side Band (USB) unless otherwise noted. The frequencies used for the test will not impact any public or private communications and will not stray outside the confines of the exercise. The following stations will be making two-way radiotelephone contacts with stations in the ARS between the time periods listed on the frequencies listed in Kilohertz below.

One the test instruments that you don't see used much is the field strength meter. With it you get an idea about the direction of your potable
antenna is working best and how different configurations work. It could be a simple box with a meter or some kind of recording device using a cell phone
or laptop.
