Field Day was conducted from Lions Park in Marysville using a Yeasu FT-890 transciever, manual tuner, and dipole antenna strung between trees.
Special thanks to NØNB for the use of the radio equipment and WØNXS for the CW contacts.
The Marshall County Amateur Radio Club's annual field day was Saturday, and 926 contacts were made, which is a club record.
The field day is an annual event on the fourth weekend in June, and the local club set up its amateur radio station at Lions Park. The event began at 1 p.m. Saturday and ran through 1 p.m. Sunday.
The field day is an emergency preparedness drill and a contest with stations all over the. United States and Canada, club member Dave Crawford, Blue Rapids, said.
"The idea is to contact as many as you can," he said.
One year the club ran. two transmitters and made more than 8OO contacts, but this year only one transmitter was put up.
Contacts are logged onto a computer, which makes sure there are no duplicates and keeps track of the location the contact is in. Canada and the United States are divided into sections, usually by state, but larger states are broken into several sections. During the field day the club made contacts as far away as Lithuania and Russia. Several Contacts were made in Canada.
Club members who worked 24 hours during the field day were Dennis Mason, KØBYK, and Nate Bargmann, NØNB, both of Marysville; Kenny Kopp, WØNXS, Topeka, formerly of Home City; and Dave Crawford, NØPGE. Additional members who worked were
