Hi Paul, What MODE will you be operating, CW or Digi ??? Regards, Gary - W5GNB

I will be operating from Ice Station Zebra
today, <http://tinyurl.com/zgss4yu>.
Date: 22 June 2020. Time: 1600z - 1630z, (1200 EDT). This is a maintenance day but i will be taking a do-nut break at 1600z. Working here at 8500 feet is like being in a National Park, lots of clear skies, pine trees and meadow larks around. In fact there is a National Monument, https://www.nps.gov/flfo/index.htm, just down the road.
I will be using my PRC319 "Lite" with it's new Hi-Per-Lite audio filter. i had to change the 1 Watter side tones to 714 Hz to get through the filter. (Thanks to N0UTJ for shipping the filter and NM0S for the design. 'NM0S' might look like an obscure call sign to you but NMOS was a popular high density IC fabrication process in the 80's).
It looks like a real PRC319 but it has a '1 Watter' inside <http://www.kitsandparts.com/1watter-V3.php>, driving a Pacific Antenna 10W amplifier <http://www.qrpkits.com/10wamp.html> . It also has a QRPguys Digital Frequency counter in the display window <http://qrpguys.apps-1and1.com/smt-digital-dialcounter>. This whole rig is made up of Kits, (Thanks Kit Makers), all sealed up in a water tight, goat proof case.
You can see photos of the 'PRC319 Lite' in the NAQCC Newsletter:
http://www.naqcc.info/newsletter_current.pdf or in CQ Magazine, June 2017.
It weighs about 7 pounds with a 7S - 26650 LiIon battery pack, barely enough weight to keep a whip vertical.

Re: Field Day Operation remotely as a group
Ya made me look...
I was not able to find anything about acronyms (prohibiting or discouraging) in regards to the club name. Just that it had to spelled exactly the same or it won't get aggregated. If you can send that info - it would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks & 73, -Ed, WG5F-

Damn, I tried to join in, but had a friend drop by to pick up something and by the time I got back, and had a break from work, things were quiet already. I thought I heard some slow CW, which would have been awesome.

The more I think about it, it may have been closer to $80.

First Day of Summer!
It's officially the First Day of Summer, and that means it's time to sign up for your official 2020 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt number. Join in on Sunday, August 16th for fun in one of the more popular QRP Operating Events of the Summer. All you have to do is send an e-mail to w2ljqrp@..., and you'll receive an answer back with your very own Skeeter number. No, it's not necessary to have one to participate, but it sure adds to the fun! For all the details about the Sprint - please visit https://www.qsl.net/w2lj/ And to see the Roster for those who have signed up so far, please visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1quCECsmE_cgHexgQhpkHeltX2cIlveSqI_tVqK1z0GM/edit?usp=sharing I'm sure you'll recognize a lot of the names and calls there. This year's bonus qualifier - use a homebrew antenna for an extra 100 bonus points. Not that we have anything against commercial antennas, or their manufacturers - it's just that antenna making is one of the most fun parts of Amateur Radio and just about anyone can cobble up something! See you all on the air on Sunday, Augyut 16th! Larry W2LJ - Skeeter # 13
