LobsterCon Wrap Up
Β
The weather finally started to cool down a bit the day before LosterCon started. We had plenty of sun, but it wasnβt baking hot.Β
The campground, where LobsterCon was held, Thomas Point Beach and Campground, was clean and well appointed, maybe too clean. There were no rocks laying about that would fit in the end of the tarred twine spools, so we wound up launching the antenna using pine cone stoppers. We had plenty of nice, flat ground for our two tents, and managed to get Project TouCans about 20 ft up between a pair of pine trees.
TouCans made two QSOs during LobstserCon, but the really nice part was all the in-person QSOs getting to hang out with everyone.Β
KO6BTY and Tawnse diagrammed TouCans on the nearby beach the first evening. Later that night, the rig reached KF9VV in Wisconsin.
Β The night after that, I made a short DX QSO with M7LLS. Then, we had lobster! So much lobster!
TouCans is definitely back up and running. Check out the Reverse Beacon map during LobsterCon.
