Default Field Day Results & Stories

How did folks do on Field Day this year?

Any good stories?

I participated at K3TU, in class 2A (+VHF/UHF). We made 949 QSOs (509
CW, 440 'phone). Condx were good (20 meter QSOs at 2 AM!) the weather
was tolerable and no major breakdowns. Saw lots of old friends and
made some new ones.

Just 363 days to the next one!

73 de Jim, N2EY


... Class: 2E
... Ops: N7MCG (Phone), WA7PRC (CW)
... Phone QSOs: 137
... CW QSOs: 315
... 100% Emergency Power + Message to Section Manager bonuses
... Rigs: TS120S (CW) and TS130S (Phone)
... Antennas: 80m cage inverted vee, 40/15m dipole, halfwave 20m vertical,
Cushcraft A3S yagi
... Power Source: 4 x Group27 wet cells in parallel (320Ah)

Not the best effort (total points: 1734) but I had fun operating at home for
a change, with my longtime friend Evan N7MCG. We used my 'little' FD
battery pack to run the rigs -- adequate power was NOT an issue. 40m was by
far the payoff band for CW; 20m produced the most Qs on phone. 15m produced
only a few Qs. 10m was d-e-a-d when I checked periodically. I finally got
the Rigblaster Pro to work w/o RFI (Evan was happy to not have a hoarse
voice afterward).
