2005 ARRL Field Day

08/28/2005 | K5A This was my second Field Day operation, and the first with a special event call. We had a great time here with both the radios going. It was nice to see how quickly we were on the air, and living a small down how quickly we could do this in an emergency if needed. I found the special event call difficult to use, with people asking for the last letter of my call. I figured that Field Day being a special event, the special event call would be nice. The Special event call was nice, just difficult to use. All in all, it was a fun and very worthwhile event. I did not make as many contacts as I wanted, but I was able to show ham radio contesting to some of my siblings who have never been involed before. Maybe we will end up getting some new hams in the family. Now for planning next year -- KD5OWO
