SOME FIELD DAY NOTES
WE MADE MORE CONTACTS THAN EVER BEFORE, 318 TOTAL. 38 STATES AND
PROVINCES. THE FARTHEST AWAY WAS GUAM AT 5629 MILES ! OUR FINAL SCORE
WILL PROBABLY BE ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST YEAR SINCE WE FORGOT TO COPY THE
W1AW MESSAGE. THE BEST BAND WAS 40 METERS USING THE DIPOLE IN THE TREES.
96 CONTACTS. 80 METERS WAS SECOND WITH 72 CONTACTS, ALSO A DIPOLE. WE KEPT
THE STATION GOING ALL NIGHT AS PLANNED BUT SOME TIMES WITH ONLY ONE OPERATOR.
NOBODY DID ANY CW OR DIGITAL QSOs. I THINK THAT NEXT TIME WE SHOULD START
SETTING UP EARLY ENOUGH TO GET ON THE AIR BY 1100 AND GO FOR 24 HOURS,
SINCE MOST OTHERS DO THAT AND AFTER 1100 SUNDAY THERE IS NOT MANY LEFT
TO TALK TO. WE DIDN'T HAVE MANY VISITORS THIS TIME. I GUESS WE DID NOT
GET ANY PUBLICITY.
LOOK FOR OUR SCORE IN QST THIS FALL
