2017 KC9UR Pontoon Portable APE
v32hoosier@...
Yahoo decided to bury the announcement I posted yesterday into an old thread from years past, so I'm re-posting it: The KC9UR Pontoon Portable APE has been spotted thrashing about northeast Indiana preparing to get on the air this Friday afternoon, Aug 25th, and continuing through Sunday morning, Aug 27th. Stan (W9SMR) and I are looking forward to our 5th consecutive APE from beautiful Round Lake, and to reconnecting with hunters of years past as well as working as many new PSKers as possible (last year's contact total exceeded 200). As in previous years, we're offering a custom QSL card and also a nice certificate to the persistent hunters who work us on three or more bands. We will be operating two stations on 80 thru 6 meters, propagation permitting. We'll post updates to this forum when we get on the air. Happy hunting! Stan (W9SMR) and Bob (KC9UR)

David, K9DWR
Sounds like my idea of hanging around until Tuesday paid off. Driving home to Plainfield was a breeze on Aug 22. :-)

As totality approached, there was a noticeable drop in the temperature. The breeze picked up, which we were told was typical for evening time. It was the equivalent of sunset, but not total darkness. Totality was an amazing experience. For 1 minute 49 seconds we could observe the eclipsed sun and the sun's corona without our eclipse glasses. It was an incredible and amazing sight. As the moon moved from in front the sun, we could see shimmering shadows of the sun's corona cast on the concrete surrounding the pool. I didn't expect that at all.

Re: W5MMW/VE3 Portable Operation (APE) August 19-26

Thanks! I spent some extra time adjusting the OCFD to not only low swr but also where X=0. I think the height is also helping. I'll be on 20m for at least another hour today. Probably back on later tonight after that. Matt

You and hundreds of thousands of other� "Eclipse Peepers" !�� Traffic jamsIt was pretty amazing. I got some pretty good pictures and met some great people. I even remembered to actually look up at totality in between taking all the pictures with the telescope. :-) The strangest thing for me was the lighting. Very hard to describe what it looked like. The closest comparison I can make is the orangeish tint from street lamps or looking through blu-blocker glasses. -- David, K9DWR #1604 LONP #255 david@graniteweb.com

buddipole from a porch in the middle of a bunch of concrete apartment
buildings, so being out in the open with an OCFD strung up at about 50
feet is a huge improvement. Worked a good number during the SEQP yesterday. Going to try to get on the air each day this week.On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 9:19 AM, 'ljl2002@...' joe_molon@... [070] <070@...> wrote:
