Narrative:

Wind indicated the use of runway 06 at N67. I had earlier landed on runway 24 and felt a significant tailwind component. Checked winds prior to departure (36/09), also indicated by windsock. Later determined radio doesn't transmit (my airplane). While climbing out of runway 6 at N67, I observed a low wing airplane turning base to final for runway 24 at N67. This was not a near miss but rather a safety issue that could have been avoided by looking. Apparently, other aircraft did not see me and I diverted to the left. Again and again -- see and be seen.

Narrative: WIND INDICATED THE USE OF RWY 06 AT N67. I HAD EARLIER LANDED ON RWY 24 AND FELT A SIGNIFICANT TAILWIND COMPONENT. CHKED WINDS PRIOR TO DEP (36/09), ALSO INDICATED BY WINDSOCK. LATER DETERMINED RADIO DOESN'T XMIT (MY AIRPLANE). WHILE CLBING OUT OF RWY 6 AT N67, I OBSERVED A LOW WING AIRPLANE TURNING BASE TO FINAL FOR RWY 24 AT N67. THIS WAS NOT A NEAR MISS BUT RATHER A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY LOOKING. APPARENTLY, OTHER ACFT DID NOT SEE ME AND I DIVERTED TO THE L. AGAIN AND AGAIN -- SEE AND BE SEEN.
