I have been a Ham for 25 years but this is the first year I have seriously participated in field day. I had a blast! I had some family obligations so I was only on the air for 10 hours.
My setup was very small. I just bought a K1 a few months ago and I was a little skeptical about how many contacts I would make with the bands being in bad shape and how crowed it was. But I tell you I had no trouble making contacts. If I could hear them I could work them. I made 110 contacts, 54 sections, 37 states and the Bahamas. My set up was the Elecraft K1 with 20 and 40 meters, a LNR Precision EF-10/20/40 MKII EndFedz Antenna sloped with the high end at 22' and a 6ah battery. I have order a KX2 that should be here Friday but I am keeping the K1. CW is just too much fun. Next year I am going to set up in the woods somewhere and I want to double my number of contacts. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
