w2aew | #241: Field Day 2016 - Low Power operating from a historic Marconi site @w2aew | Uploaded June 2016 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Here is a short overview of my single-operator, low power, battery operated station that I ran on Field Day 2016. It features an Icom IC-703+ QRP transceiver, a Yaesu FT-817 QRP transceiver, a Par Electronics End-Fed Halfwave tri-band antenna and a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo) battery. I was operating from the site of the Marconi Wireless Corporation's transmitting station known as the New Brunswick Station which was in operation in the early 1900s. Here is a little more history of the site:
