Home ARCA Menard's Series West Napa 150 Activation 7/4/2024

[Moleculo]

I will be activating the ARCA Menard's Series West Napa 150 NASCAR race this July 4th, 2024 at Irwindale Speedway in Southern California. I will likely operate 20 and 40 meters and will update this post with frequencies as the event draws nearer. This event is broadcast live on floracing.com.

Starting up at 10AM Pacific, I'll start around 7.275+/-. I'll be here for a while and if propagation picks up later in the afternoon, I'll move to 14.285 +/-

update: moved to 14.244 due to very weak traffic all over the higher part of the band.


I hope to work you!

Well, this year on July 4th, the band conditions absolutely stank throughout the day. I tried both 20m and 40m off and on all afternoon and couldn't muster much of anything. I could barely hear the 13 Colonies special event way down in the noise floor on 20m, but couldn't copy anything over there. Nevertheless, I tried over and over and logged a few contacts:

NX8T	20m
KN6NIK	40m
K8JKU	20m
KG7MRA	20m
AI5OS	20m
K6YUA	20m
KK7RMD	20m
N9FAL	20m
AI7LF	20m
ABOEZ	20m
KI7OIY	20m
KO4KGA	20m
KM4JWW	20m
WK6LE	40m
KN6DAM	40m
