Special thanks to all the operators, both veteran and some new and young operators who did a great job. We had a couple of technical difficulties with the phone station in the beginning, but great minds figured it out. Also thanks to Hunter for donating his laptop for logging at the phone station.
Mike and his culinary talents provided our great meals! Thanks to all those who brought their delicious side dishes. Thanks as well as "Killer-Mouse Electric" for our generator power.
In addition to the regular contacts, several contacts were made on the GOTA Station Sunday morning, by people who came by to check out ham radio. Great public relations for FARA and ham radio.
State Rep Dave Vieira-KB1QND visited our Field Day site for about an hour. He checked out our communications trailer.
Our submitted score is 8,906 points. We made 1,512 CW contacts on 5 bands and 723 SSB contacts on 4 bands. We also earned 1,400 bonus points. FARA did extremely well for a 2A (two transmitter) operation.
Thanks again everyone!
