Since I couldn't make it to Easter Island today for the solar eclipse, I make a quick visit up to the hill to check on things. I haven't been on the hill in a while. Thanks to Ray Burk for being the sole volunteer for the July workday.The hill was quiet except for the birds on a sunny afternoon. Temperatures were approaching 90. I got some mowing done, then retreated to the hut and used the radio see how the 2 meter band was working. I easily reached the repeater in Vernon, CT and talked to a ham in New Britain.
It's now only about seven weeks to Arunah Hill Days.
