[Toshima, Junji]

Greetings all! As mentioned previously, if we wanted a “lunch break” on the hill, let me know…I can swipe in for dining halls.

Subject: [W6YRA] Net, New Members, Field Day

I'd like to be able to say that we didn't plan on having a net this week in anticipation of Field Day, but unfortunately, it just completely slipped my mind. We should be back on track next week with our weekly net for everyone still in the Westwood area.

In addition, I'd like to congratulate our two newest licensees, Amanda Ho (KK6NNX), and Dylan Schmidt (KK6NNU)! They are currently in Green River, UT with the UCLA Rocket Project for the annual rocketry competition. The rocket this year includes a BigRedBee 70cm GPS and transmitter on amateur bands for tracking and recovery.

Ryan (NX1U) and I were able to get a bit of work done on the roof last weekend. We've moved part of the antenna switcher assembly onto the roof and have started re-crimping, identifying, and reconnecting the HF feed lines. Unfortunately, the antenna switcher is powered, so none of the HF radios can be used yet, but we hope to fix that soon.

Field Day will probably start off with more roof work, and hopefully transition into a bit of contesting. Please remember that if you can make it to the shack this weekend, we'd appreciate the help. Ryan set up a poll to try and see when people will be in, if you can make it at all, please mark it down: http://doodle.com/t2midwtmz5kxq394.
