NFD, June 2008
Saturday 7th June was a bit "iffy" weather wise but a large
number of CARS Members turned up to assist installing
the tents and aerial. For the first time the new CARS "NAAFI" Tent was erected under command of Ethel.
Colin, G0TRM had the job of colour coding the many interconnecting
rods to aid erection the next time.

A Large Dipole Aerial was erected alongside the canal using trees as supports.
The Sun Spot low cycle was still low and contributed to poor propagation
conditions (as it did previous years).

Note the fan heater to provide a base load on the generator & prevent "hunting".
The heat is appreciated during the night hours but not when it is hot during the day.

Our thanks to everyone who took part and helped including those

A good team effort by CARS.
