Low-key this year, lots of other things going on, had fun and already planning next year. My first FD was 1968 - don't think I've mised one since. I was traveling on Saturday but I spent some late night hours on CW at K4CO, 3A, KY--the Northern Kentucky Amateur Radio Club's site at Taylor Mill, South of Covington in Kenton County. Dave K8MN Don't know if I talked about Field Day yet or not but here goes anyway. One of our participants got a new personal best for Field Day of 1000 contacts. Our VHF station got 89 contacts from Michigan to Texas and Florida due to a nice 6m band opening Saturday night, which for our club is probably the best that we've ever had. Our club cook did his usual outstanding job. Every year he plans out and takes care of everything for a pack of busy hams. Our Field Day site stayed dry but there were thunderstorms in the general area. So when I took a try at putting messages into the NTS (something new for me), we were battling tremendous static on 80m in our area. I did manage to get 4 messages submitted but they closed the traffic net early due to the static. Now I have a backlog of messages to work off from the group that I collected at work. A number of club members were impressed with the VHF contacts that we made. We had wickedly hot weather here for the Field Day. So that cut the attendance some. Many people who normally attend ended up having to work this year on the weekend. That cut the attendance some more. But all in all it was a fine Field Day. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
