Field Day 2008

by Dave Kalahar 7/4/2008 8:19:00 AM

It's been a very busy week and I'm finally getting around to writing this.

Last weekend we took the station on the road to Valley Baptist to setup and operate Field Day.  KD4HXT operated 1A with KI6OII Jason a new ham and his first FD.  With the help of non ham Scott, we strung an 80 meter full wave loop between 2 of the church buildings.  The West side of the loop was at 70 feet sloping down to about 50 feet at the East end.  Fed with open wire line, we had a killer antenna.  We ran all Day Saturday for a total of 15 hours of operation.  700+ Q's and all but 2 states were worked.
