The BARC Field Day site was located at the former VOA Site C West of Greenville.
In the background, the 3 approximately 200 foot towers are part of a 1600 foot long
rhombic antenna pointed toward Honolulu and one of the two 16 element log periodic
antennas 500 feet from the radios.. To bad they were not closer for our use!

W4AMC operated as 3A (3 stations + 6 meters)

The 6 meter beam is ready to use.  The 16 element Log Periodic would have been nice to use.  It was only about 60 feet from the radios and about 100 feet high..

Some just get worn out climbing towers and putting up antennas.
