FIELD DAY: June 25 & 26, 2011

We had field day at Cap Erbe Park in Boone. We ran a class 2A station. The two main stations used the call sign NØN. The Get on the Air (GOTA) station used the call sign KBØTLM. Ten of the contacts on 40 meters CW were made with a solar charged battery. The rest of the contacts were made using a generator.

For the NØN stations, there were 62 CW QSO's at 5 watts and 20 SSB QSO's at 100 watts on 40 meters, 120 SSB QSO's at 100 watts on 20 meters, and 147 SSB QSO's at 100 watts on 15 meters.

For the GOTA station, there were 96 SSB QSO's at 100 watts.
