Muskegon ARC Field Day 1994




When I was Vice-President of Muskegon's ARC I arranged to move our Field Day location to the Blockhouse State Park. Besides the obvious benefits, the Blockhouse is only a few miles south of our clubhouse on Scenic Drive.

That is Jason N8YKC, owner of Sound-Buggy, on the tower. He is arranging the VHF/UHF "shack". Barely visible (depending on your video card) at left is the 6 meter cubical-quad antenna and an 80 meter trap vertical, (not to be confused with the hanging power cord). A micro-wave horn points out a gun-loop across Lake Michigan, (that would have been a distance record). Also inside is the satellite station and antennas. My 160 meter double Zepp antenna extends through the trees down both sides of Blockhouse Hill. All other bands are covered with radio shacks positioned on both sides of the hill.

We had a great time here and earned more points than ever before. The club has returned to this site each year since.
