Hello fellow hammers!
Not only was Field day (from home for me) my first, but also - my first
ever to use my newly installed end-fed multi-band antenna! Wow was I
impressed once I got it installed. It took a lot of work in the hot sun up
there on the roof but luckily all worked out well for the most part. I had
no idea that the waterfall (I mostly do digital) was going to be so busy
for field day!
Anyway, I wasnt able to stay up all night because of how tired I was
working on getting...
First Field Day experience!
