[List at K4FAU.org] Initial Field Day recap.

[Sjaak van Dam]

Thanks to everybody that came out to Field Day!


I think we all had fun (I sure did). Special thanks to Shakeera, Lew, Gary
and Bob? for hanging in there throughout the night. Did I miss anybody?
What is Bob’s call?


I will write a longer recap after I work on the logs and received any
comments from anybody that was at FD.


I always seem to have issues with setting up the logging on Friday night.
Instead of grabbing loaner laptops from work I plan on having 3 dedicated
logging laptops for next year so that I don’t have to spend Friday night
fixing and reinstalling laptops.


Setup on Saturday went pretty smooth and quick. Lew’s tri-bander, John’s
vertical and the club’s G5RV worked great.


Some highlights for me were the 3 youth that made contacts, RTTY and 6
meter.


It was a shame I could not figure out PSK31, but I have a year to get that
working.


Once I go through the log and add the contacts that were logged on paper
and those that were saved in the wrong location I think we will have over
470 contacts! Last year we did 293, so this is a huge improvement.


Please send any photos, comments and questions to PA3GVR -at- amsat.org
