[SCCC] N7DA FD

[Drew Arnett]

First time single op field day.  Surprise this week was having someone
isolating at home, so cancelled my original plans.  Operated portable
from nearby park parking lot.  Mountain blocks to south, but not a
problem from SDG.  :-)  Ran 100 W off of single solar charged battery.
Very happy with the LiFEPO4.  Only 28 pounds and ran a (power hog)
laptop + 100 W radio.  Operated between lunch and dinner Saturday and
returned again Sunday morning.

No complaints with the results given the modest location, antenna, and
power.  Propagation was interesting.  Was a little jealous of the
sporadic E over the eastern US Sunday providing them with plenty of 15
and 10m QSOs.  But that's contesting.  :-)

Final score should be 1,242 with 350 bonus points.  (1200 sounds like
a reasonable number of QSOs for a single station.)  Submitted to Tom's
Garage to do the aggregate score thing.

Spent an hour on Friday adding FD to my logging software.  Worth it,
because it works exactly the way I want.  Had super partials and
highlighted the CLS and SEC fields when contents were valid.  I did
look at the N1MM call history files for FD.  Very small download
counts.  Probably the least useful event for a call history file,
anyway.  :-)

Best regards,

Drew
