Comments:
Thanks to K5WA for organizing another great Field Day. Bob rented an RV this
year, but the A/C couldn't quite keep up with the fierce Texas heat. We put up
40 feet of tower with a TH3 junior, 40M rotatable dipole, and 80M inverted vee.
We also put up a 40M ground plane in a tree, but decided it worked no better
than the dipole. We also put up 30 feet of tower with a four element 6M beam
and a little quad for 2M.
This year, we again used Bob's WRTC triplexer and lockout system and had two
ops interrupting each other all weekend. :-) Fortunately, hand signals got
progressively more civil as the weekened progressed, so I guess we got the hang
of it. :-)
We did almost exclusively CW last year, but this year we hopped up to the phone
band occasionally and had a few good runs on 20.
Thanks also to KB5GTU for arranging for the great location and for working some
tough bands for us. See y'all next year!
