Hallo
The usual things are happening at N1EY.com. I am not working anyone on 10 meters. Everyone is talking about Field Day on the Quincy Machine. Will they ever make the Quincy machine work decently? Someone was actually complaining about the 220 machine in Quincy. The MMRA is going to send their field person to fix the 220 machine, but none of the big wigs really care about the Quincy 2 Meter machine.
Plus, my darn radio can not receive a clear copy of the Quincy machine, when the Plymouth machine on 146.685 is transmitting. My radio intermixes the two. Quincy is on 146.670.
We had a big turn out for the new ride that I helped to organize for the Charles River Wheelmen. Approximately fifty persons rolled out of the parking lot for the Norweillian Atlantic Adventure. A couple of my friends and I went riding on Monday. We did 45 miles at a pace of approximately 14.60 mph on Monday, which was Memorial Day. The weather is improving and we were all talking about riding the club’s Plymouth to Provincetown(P2P) ride. The bicycling season is in full swing. I am seeing a lot of people riding bikes, lately. I saw the multipart series of people operating while riding their bikes in CQ magazine. I did work W3FF on 17 meters while I was operating the W1F special event station, last year.
Anyways, while I was working today, I saw the Quincy Fore River Railroad come down to Braintree to pick up a bunch of cars for the shipyard. I also saw a number of passenger trains operate through Green Jct. I did manage to grab a picture of the CSX train rolling towards Green Jct with a cut of various cars at approximately a quarter past one. I had gone to lunch about forty five minutes prior to this. I saw the train out the window and I ran over for a shot. He was going to run around the cars and work the Middleboro line.
