10/14/2005 | W6YX Thirty-five hams participated in the Stanford Amateur Radio Club's 2005 Field Day activities, operating in Class 6F (6 transmitters on emergency power from an established emergency operations center site, plus a "Get on the Air" station for new operators) using phone, CW, and digital modes on HF, VHF and UHF frequencies, including a contact through an amateur radio satellite which is part of Project OSCAR (Orbital Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio). Preliminary results show 7,201 contacts, plus lots of credit for bonus activities including operation of transmitters entirely on emergency power, pre-event media publicity, operation at a public location, presence of a public information booth, amateur radio transmission of a national traffic system message to our section manager, copying the ARRL Field Day bulletin sent from W1AW in Newington, Connecticut, visit by a government agency official, youth participation, and demonstration of amateur operations using non-tradional modes. -- W6YX
