We had a high wind situation in Western NY. The Gap Challenger gave in. I've seen this antenna handle 40 mph winds with no issue, I will just say, we had much more than 40. Called Gap to order a new double wall base section and a recommended guy kit. Can't wait to get the Challenger back on the air.
73 and Happy New Year

Good day everyone. I hope you all are having a nice 2023 so far. It's Wineglass Marathon time and I hope I can count on everyone to help out with DSTAR operations on the busses and a couple of key locations. This is the only chance we get to shine with our expertise and you're all fluent and reliable operators. Your help is truly needed.

Something different this year is we're required to register with Wineglass and you request your shirt on the website. Please, I never ask for anything else and the Wineglass committee appreciates our service every year.

If you're in the greater Corning, NY area and are able to help with DSTAR communications, please contact me directly at: [email protected]

Thanks so much for your time and service.

Welcome!  The course is fast. Very fast. Personal records tend to fall here. Beyond the chance for a PR, the speed also makes Wineglass one of the top spots to qualify for the Boston Marathon.  And the early autumn scenery is stunning.  These are just a few of the reasons runners love the Winegla...
