    Field Day was a real challenge operating class 1E, Battery and QRP.
    20 meters was THE band this year. Thanks to everyone who participated. I was hoping for more digital activity. Hope to see everyone again next year. Read More

    Field Day 2003 was enjoyable but I kept it pretty low-key. I operated from MDC (our back yard) as battery-powered Class 1B using QRP on 40 and 20 meters only. I slung a homebrew half-sized OH2NE 1/3 multiband antenna from the house to a tree in our n... Read More

    Who says Field Day can't be fun. We decided to operate from the boat this year because it was hot in Northern California. Never having done this before we learned a lot about what works and what doesn't.

    On board, drift has a new meaning. We used a ... Read More
