MARC FIELD DAY 2003
Ho'okipa Maui


Dana and Joe
Alex, Bob, and Daughter
Dana (AH6RI) and Joe (AH6RQ) on the CW rig.   Hmmm, Dana,  think maybe we should practice more for next time ? We set up on a bluff next to Hookipa , the "wind surfing capital of the world". Awsome View! This area was usually occupied by cattle, so we had plenty of cow pies. Alex (KH6HE) takes a break from cooking  looks on as Bob (KH7FX) Works the SSB Rig with daughter  helping. The food was great!
Tri band
A rare Hawaiian dance being performed by some of the members...well actually getting in some kite flying during a slow period. The main set up area shoing the shelters and tri-band beam. We separated SSB and CW operations in two different shelters. The shack was used by the land owners for storage of stuff....which didn't smell too good. Close up of the shoreline below us.
far tower
storage building
One of the towers supporting the Rhombic. We use the Rhombic mostly for SSB which helped fight the less than perfect propagation. Looking to the right as you face the ocean. If you look close you can see the far tower for
the Rhombic in the center of the big green area. There are rocks next to the base.
Other view of the shack that was used for storage of not so nice smelling stuff. We don't know who the Happy Face Bandits Were.
Joe
Bob and daughter

Joe(AH6RQ) seems to be deep in thought or maybe has nodded off. Bob( KH7FX) and daughter still at it on SSB rig.
