Comments:
The last few years I've did a big 1D effort but this year was just fooling
around. Started out just working friends and snappy cw Q's but eventually I did
some running Sunday afternoon. The big addition this year was FT4 & 8. I
never saw anybody working in the "suggested" digital window by the
ARRL so it was a free for all in the small normal windows. Also couldn't
understand why a lot more didn't go FT4 for much quicker contacts & rates.
Oh well, its not a contest, remember?
Lots of digital went on well past 2pm. As I always recalled once it hit 2pm
there was a big void of much activity. Our regular group tried it one year to
operate the full 27 hours and it wasn't long before we just packed up and
boogied the site.
Had a lot of fun as I always do in Field Day. I decided to just run the amp at
half or less to be loud and work everyone I called, hi, plus it was nice when I
did run Sunday afternoon and tried to work all the weak guys answering me. Some
were close to esp.
