12/25/2007 | KB5URQ Field Day '07 for our family was at the QTH of KC5DCY in Livingston, Texas. The team consisted of Gene KA5FUJ, Norbert KC5DCY, and Jason KB5URQ (all Dugas').

Jason did almost all of the operating, but had significant help with antennas from both Gene and Norbert, as well as moral support, water, and food.

We had a 20m dipole up (not very high) and pretty much stayed on 20m. We did venture onto other bands such as 40 and 80m using a High Sierra mobile antenna mounted on an 8 ft. pole near the operating location. We ran on lead acid batteries.

All of the operations were done from the screened-in back porch of the house.

We used a couple radios during the contest-- but only one at a time.

In the future for next year, we hope to add a tower at the QTH for higher elevation and a higher score!!

We had fun working other stations and visiting off-the-air.
