[SECC] K4BAI Claimed Score 2018 ARRL Field Day

[John Laney]

we had a great Field Day at W4CVY 3A GA.  At the W station, the antenna 
was a problem and KU8E went home and made us a new 88' zepp to replace 
the old one.  Four CW ops, K4BAI, KU8E, K4EOR, and K8LBQ kept the CW 
station going after a slow start.  Digital station in same trailer 
worked out nicely. That is a quiet mode, at least the way Steve and 
Steve operate it.  They made more digital (PSK31) QSOs than we have ever 
had on FD.  Something was wrong with the network and we couldn't see the 
SSB QSOs ( and they couldn't see our CW QSOs),, but I think they kept 
the station manned and made a lot of QSOs.  The GOTA station signed 
W4FIZ and a number of non hams and new hams made QSOs under the 
supervision of AJ1F.  The VHF station made about 50 QSOs on 6M SSB.  
KY7DR made at least two satellite QSOs.  Norm, W1NRE headed up the 
Satiurday evening meal and a lot of hams and their families contributed 
side dishes and desserts.  It was a great feast and even left the CW 
station unmanned in order to eat, a first for me.  Several of us copied 
the FD message from W1AW and a message was sent on GSN to AG4ZR, the GA 
section manager. N4VPI, the DEC from LaGrange visted out site.  We were 
located in Cooper Creek Park and got a lot of public exposure.  There 
were a lot of other things competing for attention this weekend at 
Cooper Creek, including a junior tennis tournament.  We worked out an 
operating schedule, which was varied during antenna problems.  But K4EOR 
and K8LBQ camped out in a van near the CW/digital trailer and KU8E and I 
each got to go home for much needed rest and sleep.  I operated just 
over an hour from home Saturday about 10 PM around the late session of 
GSN, which had only one check in, namely me.  Thanks to George and Bain, 
I felt better than I ever have after a FD, so I am about to go back to 
Cooper Creek for a tennis team practice. Thanks to all who helped out at 
the FD site.  K4BLL was the head honcho and he did a magnificent job of 
getting the antenna ropes high up i the trees.  Wait til next year!  73, 
John, K4BAI.

Home from the W4CVy site for shower and some sleep.  Helping out stations in the
