On the Cover
A nearly-aerial view of the
antenna farm at K3EAR, the South Mountain Contest Club’s VHF contesting
station outside Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. There are 12 towers on the
site, 11 of which are visible in this photo (can you find them all?). You
can’t see the 12th, the 6-meter tower, because the photographer climbed up
it to take this photo! If you look at WA1HHN’s article, “The Underdog
Rises,” starting on page 26, you’ll see a photo of a tower holding two
stacked 6-meter beams. In between them is a small platform, which was the
vantage point for this photo. The highest tower, at 110 feet, holds the
2-meter antennas. See WA1HHN’s article for more details about the station
and K3EAR’s record-setting multi-op performance in last year’s CQ
World-Wide VHF Contest. (Cover photo by Russell Biltz, N3EMF)
