2020 ARRL Field Day

06/29/2020 | WD8DSB

Ran 1B single op this year due to Covid-19, and decided to run reasonably low power (10 to 15 watts) to allow for battery operation during the entire event.  Lots of rain but large tarp canopy hung between the trees kept things reasonable dry.  40 meter rig was an MFJ Cub driving a small Mosfet amplifier for 15 watts output, and built a 1.3 watt 20 meter transmitter last week to drive the same Mosfet amp for 10 watts output.  Operated approximatly 17.5 hours and really had fun operating all CW as usual.  Made a total of 513 QSOs (321 on 40 meters, and 192 on 20 meters) using dipole antennas up 30 feet in the trees.  Thanks to everyone that took part in this very unusual Field Day.  73, Don (wd8dsb)
