Orange County Fair found NC AF6C helping with chores at the Amateur Radio Booth! Acting NC, IXN, checked in NOA, PEQ, CCD, JD, and
HHC. Gordy warned IXN that an unstable
automatic antenna tuner might cause sig fading due to changing SWR caused by rusty joints
in the roofing above the radio booth
Tnx, Gordy!
Despite the errant tuner, communications frm the Fair were a success wid the
large whip antenna! JD & IXN heard people
talking in the background at the OC Fair, and IXN gave JD an update on Lees new knee
recovery. PEQ also worked a shift at the Fair,
wid CCD working the shift before Dan. HHC
checked in frm the Fair Booth covering fer AF6C who was busy handling Fair traffic. IXN thinks that the automatic antenna tuner should
be eliminated at the Fair next year. AF6C
checked in frm the Fair Booth at Nets end at 19:55 hrs. local time.

Fair Booth! CF, burdened down wid work & 2
computers down, didnt get to the OC Fair this year, and VDP worked a Special Events
station, W9IND, in Indianapolis
And Larry said that the new AZ QTH elevation is 3,000
Ft! CCE is recovering frm hernia surgery July

PEQs QTH
Lots of fun! AF6C and HHC
experienced bad interference frm a noise source near the Fair Booth, but NC copied 5/9
sigs frm the Fair! IXN told AF6C that DLA did
not check into Net, so Bob will have to give Bruce a landline to plan a session at the
Braille Institute tomorrow. Will OC Fair guest
Michael, HHCs grandson, be the heir apparent of HHCs ham gear?
IXN thinks
so!!
