disaster and emergency situations.
Whatever matching requirements needed
with the LPDA are handled by the autotune in the 7300 or K3 with an average
output of about 85+W. Most of the time the LPDA is oriented toward the
Mediterranean as we are located on a 300ft high hill favoring the Atlantic
Ocean. Our logs reflect a very high percentage of DX because of this.
W1OP particpates in the Annual Armed Forces Day
Crossband Test using Call Sign "NAF" (with assigned Military Frequencies)
representing the original Navy NAVRADSTA (T) site in Jamestown, RI. NAF
operated on Military Frequencies and made contacts with amateur radio operators
on ham frequencies --"Crossband". The Army Military Auxiliary Radio System
(MARS) hosts the test.
