Sunday, September 6th, Mel K0PFX, Harry WA0CNS, Herbert AF4JF, Armand KD0PFX, Ron KO0Z, Debbie KC9ULA convened at Creve Coeur Park at 9:00 am to test out some gear. Mike N0OBI came by, but somehow we missed each other. COVID-19 is still among us, so we met outdoors, wore masks and kept socially distant. Herbert brought along his dog, Darcy and Ron and Debbie brought Toula. Toula is wearing a "dish" to keep her from licking her stitches.
Mel brought his 10 GHz rig to let everyone hear the repaired WB9PNU beacon located on top of DePaul Hospital in Bridgeton, MO. The beacon has a very strong signal at the park location. Mel could point his dish in any direction and the signal was still loud and clear.
Herbert experimented with a patch antenna and a log periodic antenna with his PLUTO SDR transceiver. Harry WA0CNS brought his 2.3 and 3.4 GHz transverters. Herbert was testing some antennas and tuning with the PLUTO waterfall. WA0CNS has a very impressive H frame for his uW yagis.
