Fremont Peak Expedition

Memorial Day weekend was the real beginning of spring as the SLV Repeater Club discovered camping on Fremont Peak. Looking down upon oceans of fog fingering into the nooks and crannies, early morning hikers to the peak traversed multitudes of wildflowers. Birds filled the air with song as they celebrated the rising sun.

Shared gourmet dishes and drinks excelled the fare of all but the finest restaurants. The Piece De Resistance on Sunday evening was broiled Salmon freshly caught by N6RZ, (well, not in the park).

What is camping without a camp fire and fish and war stories, also memories of Field Days and DX Expeditions? Kicking back with good companions and digesting all that good food in order to walk!

Crystal clear nights revealed stars and planets normally obscured by urban lights and smog. At the observatory telescopes were available for close up viewing - well closer up. At least half a dozen amateurs (astronomers that is) were up at the observatory hill with scopes of all sizes. Each astronomer was happy to give us a tour of many kinds of objects in the sky, from binaries, to clusters, to distant galaxies. Then, to ruin our night vision, each treated us to the spectacle of a brilliant Jupiter, with four of its moons easily visible, and the bands on the planet easily countable.

Thanks to Pres David, N6RZ, and to Kerry, N6SFO ,for organizing this wonderful event.

New section suggestion: Listening Frequencies

Do you have a favorite frequency? Share it with the group! While anyone can look in a frequency listings book, (and we should cover the basic frequencies for newcomers, and oldtimers who have misplaced their lists), we could make this section more interesting by focusing on the frequencies our members enjoy listening to. VHF, UHF, and shortwave, would all be appropriate. So submit your favorite frequency along with a description of the frequency.
