W2ZOU pointed me to this video about a new novel way to use a sea (or salt) water stream as an antenna, developed by the US Navy.

Our 2010 Field day was a great success, after almost not having one this year. The members of the board had to quickly find another spot when we lost access to our previous location. In the past, we had enjoyed air-condition, couch, TV and the nearby convince of facilities under one roof. The open, 5 acres of tree lined field, that we camped on, allowed us enjoy the fresh sea breeze, BBQ, and enjoy the wildlife.

 When one speaks of electricity and radio although similar in certain respects, there are many contributors to the field; Faraday, Voltaire, Maxwell, Hertz, Marconi, Deforest, Tesla and Armstrong plus many, many more not mentioned in this article. This article will highlight the achievements of two great men who never gained fame or fortune in their lifetimes. Nikola Tesla who is responsible for the invention of radio and the creation of the electrical field also Edwin Howard Armstrong who made the radio field what it is today.

During the weekend of June 4th - June 6th, the repeater was moved to its new home.
Despite encountering a few snags like the cabinet being too big, sweltering temperatures and humidity, as well as a failed power pole connector, Harvey (KB2EA), Vinny (KB2PSI), and Gary (KB2BSL) managed to get it all moved and set up. Everything seems to be working well and coverage is great!
Echolink is also back up and running, and repeater improvements are being planned.
