I started at the beginning and finished around 4:30 AM- 5:00AM, when Nizar came to rescue me! I went home and slept for a couple of hours, then went to Church. I returned about 1/2 hour before the end with my wife (KD8CMB) and tried to get her to work a little SSB. Alas, no luck, but she did sign in!! I did not do much of the take down, except move some tables and chairs, as my grandson decided to be born on June 25th, and he takes priority! We had his 7th birthday party at our place. Can you imagine a house full of kids, right after field day, and having only a couple hours of sleep!! I agree wholeheartedly with Nizar’s and Curt’s comments. I am somewhat dumbfounded at the lack of participation from the TDXS, as I believe there were approximately 6 of us in attendance, although I could be wrong on that number and just missed folks who came out on Sunday morning. 73 de Jim - KE8G On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 12:21 PM Scott Royall via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org <mailto:bvarc@bvarc.org> > wrote: Happy that you enjoyed it.

Great location, great teamwork and great people. Most importantly, the bands opened up on Sunday for a great ending. 3,000 QSOs considering that we had high noise on 40 and 80 meters and no propagation on 15 and 10 on Saturday, is a great score. So, thank you to ALL the organizers and the clubs for making this very successful. Here are a couple of suggestions to make it even better for next year. 1. Trace the noise generator prior to FD so we can reduce it. S9 noise on 80 meters made it almost useless. We could not hear most of the signals. 2. Locate the antennas so as to minimize interference between SSB, CW and Digital modes antennas. -----Original Message----- From: Curt Fletcher [mailto:dcurtfletc...@gmail.com <mailto:dcurtfletc...@gmail.com> ] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 7:20 AM To: Nizar Mullani; Allen R. Brier Subject: FD thoughts A few random thoughts on FD. For a few years I thought TDXS should break away and do our own FD, I’m wrong. There isn’t enough TDXS members participating to put up a tent, throw a rock over a tree with a long wire on the end. The BVARC and Katy guys really did a great job with just about everything hardware related. The current arrangement is perfect for all concerned, Glen and Allen organizing computers and radios, BVARC guys towers and antennas, Katy guys organizing, labor and sweat. New location is far superior to the fire stations. Obviously figuring out the noise issue prior to FD would be nice.
