[List at K4FAU.org] Field Day after action

[Willem Van Dam]

Hi All,

Thanks to everybody that came out to Field Day!

I think we all had fun (I did). I would like to do a small write up and submit to ARRL but I did not keep track of everybody that visited us.

>From the log I have the following operators: K4LEW, KE4HLL, KE4IDW, KE4KDL, KJ4RVL, KM4APD, W2DO and W4RIS.
Of-course we had Hank, Gary and Shakeera for most if not all of the weekend joining us.
Visiting us were Shirley, a student and FAU PD (I'm counting this a the "served agency" points).

Who did I miss?

We made a total of 293 contacts with 6 dupes (always log dupes!).

>From my point of view I have the following remarks:
- I did not read the FD manual so I'm sure we missed a lot of points and I told Alan, KM4APD to start at 12 on Saturday.....
- Without -over- planning everything came together well.
- The rehab van is still running strong and was easy to setup. For next year I would like to add a small beam (from T6) to the van so we can run on 10-15-20 easier.
- I would like to have seen 6M, but this is my personal opinion as I have not worked 6M in a loooong time.
- I was out of town last year but from what I heard parking garage 2 is preferred over parking garage 1.
- The drone made hanging the long wire too easy...... but we should do that again next year..
- Forgot to take photos!

Please let me know your remarks, good, bad and ugly.

Thanks,

Sjaak
