Field Day

Hello, all

Fine Field Day! The weather was decent - several hard showers, but none during set-up and take-down. Love to hear that rain on the pavilio roof, rather than on the old tent we used to use!

Only 11 Club members participated - down from last year, I think. But everyone pitched in and got done what needed to be done. The rigs, antennas, and generator all worked well. AJ WB2HRK and Ed N2JBA again got us a good turnout of town officials, firemen, and EMS people.

The first rough count of QSOs is:

SSB: 15m - 35; 20m - 1; 40m - 58 (including 8 on the GOTA); 80m - 77 Total SSB 171

CW: 15m - 40; 20m - 139; 30m - 70; 80m - 40 Total CW 289

Seems evident that there was little chance for SSB on 20 because the band was tied up with CW! I don't have the figures from last year, and when Pres. Doc K1CTT gets
back he'll make the final tallies and send it all in. As usual, we had some good talk and good ideas about what we might do next year. Let's keep the discussion going.

Thanks again to all!

73, VP Lee K1LEE
