The station will also sport a second monitor for Field Day. The station features an IC-7300 Transceiver (100w), a Winkeyer and P addles for CW, and a Windows laptop computer running the N1MM+ logger and WSJT-X.

The station will be generator powered at Field Day but it can also be run using a solar/battery setup when Mountain Topping. The station is an all-mode setup that can do SSB Phone, CW, and WSJT-X Digital (FT8/FT4, Q65, MSK144, etc.). We also use the 6m LFA antenna project as an opportunity to assemble and test our 6m Station for Field Day. The setup is easy to put up – it takes about an hour to do it. The antenna is fed with LMR-400uF coax and rigged with a rotator loop near the top of the mast so that the antenna can be pointed by rotating the mast at the base. Aron, W1AKI, and Jamey, AC1DC helped me to assemble the antenna and put it up on a 25 ft fiberglass mast here at our QTH for testing.
Our Yagi is lightweight which makes it ideal for portable applications like Field Day and Mount Topping. In particular, Yagis using an LFA design are less susceptible to noise and interference which is a big advantage for weak-signal work on the 6m Band. There are some advantages to LFA Yagi’s for the 6m band and above. Our 6m Field Day station will be a portable setup and features a new antenna – a 3-Element Loop Fed Array (LFA) Yagi from InnoVAntennas. Our plans include putting up a Tower, a Computer-Controlled Satellite Station, and an upgraded 6m Field Day Station. We’ve been busy getting ready for Summer Field Day 2021 at the Nashua Area Radio Society.
