Gentlemen
I’m going to participate in the WRTC14 Station Test this weekend during the IARU Contest. I’ll be part of a Beam Team activating 2 stations at the Mansfield, MA, Airport site.
The Beam Team will assemble the antenna and 40′ of Rohn 25G tower, afix the antenna to the prone tower and erect and secure them. We’ll start Friday 7/12/2013 about 0900 and finish when the 2 stations are done. Sunday morning 7/14/2013, after the contest ends, we’ll do the reverse.
I’d love to have a couple of CTRI members join me. If interested, give me a call or drop me an email.

That sounds great James. Wish I could join you but have other commitments this weekend. The IARU is a great way to get the contesting spirit in the middle of the summer. I hope that start time is 0900 local and not GMT! Take copious notes and you can present them at the next club meeting.

I was just contacted about another nearby WRTC test-site @ Dighton Rock State Park off RT 24 just north of Fall River, MA. Address: 3rd Ave., Berkly, MA. Location – just past state park parking lot down off dirt path. They will set up Fri starting at 11AM with teardown Sun just after contest ends after 8AM.
They are in need of volunteers as well. I may have a chance to visit at some point.
Good luck to those getting on-air for IARU HF Championship…the summer’s biggest HF CW/SSB worldwide contest.

Jim,
Start time is 1200 GMT. That makes it 0800 here in Connecticut. 73, Mike, K1DM
