2010 ARRL Field Day
My 2010 Field Day was spent at the same site as my 2009 Field Day, the Garland Prairie Vista picnic ground in the Kaibab National Forest, along old US-66 about 20 miles west of Flagstaff AZ. Once again, I was in the 1B/1-Op/Battery category, working 40-6m as well as 6 different satellites (AO-7, AO-27, AO-51, FO-29, SO-50, VO-52) - all at 5W.
It was fun to work 40m in the afternoon at 5W and reach as far away as northern California, and then go on AO-7 and FO-29 to make more QSOs. Those two satellites sounded like 20m with so many stations trying to make their QSOs. I logged a total of 49 QSOs in 9.5 hours up at 7200' elevation. Much better weather up there, compared to the desert heat in Phoenix.
73!
