April 2026 Delayed MAD

 SLAMS activity is still alive and well.  We weren't able to participate on the "official" MAD earlier this month, but we did make it this Sunday, April 12, 2026 at Glencoe Park near Wildwood, MO.  It's a nice park and today was a beautiful spring morning.  Herbert AF4JF, Harry WA0CNS along with Debbie KC9ULA and myself, Ron KO0Z made it to the park by 9:30 am. Our canine companions, Darcy and Toula also joined us for the morning.

 Harry brought along his Q5 Signal synthesizer for 5.7 GHz, so Herbert could test his new transverter connected to his Yaesu 817.

After completing our 5.7 GHz experiments, Ron was anxious to test his 3 cm rig to see if his relay and semi-rigid coax were working.  Herbert brought his rig and I'm very happy to report my 3 cm rig is putting out full power!
