If time permits at this evenings meeting I will show how to use the MFJ259B to evaluate coax cables. You will learn what it can and cannot do.
If you have any coax cables that you think are bad, bring them and we will test them.

Field Day 2011 Video – Part 7 (Dutchess County Mobile Command Center Tour)
FIELD DAY 2011 was an outstanding success from every perspective! We made more contacts than last year, accumulated more points than last year, and had a totally enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, the weather cut us some slack, and the equipment purred along without a complaint! Let’s thank ourselves for the effort we put forth. Since we are a ‘non-club’ it only gets done if we do it, therefore we have to thank ourselves and each other for our efforts. Let’s also recognize those who went the extra mile – Scott W2NTV, our Field Day Coordinator and JB WA2WMJ, our major antenna supplier, both of whom lent us the major portion of the equipment we used; Frank W2GIO who totally handled the VHF end; Nick, N2QZ who took the lead to establish our network; Adam KC2DAA who fed us; Shirley N2SKP for the zillion little things she stuffed into her car and then organized on-site. Pictures will be posted soon. A collection of candid videos will be edited into an online video remembrance of Field Day 2011 and posted shortly.
