2011 ARRL Field Day

07/22/2011 | w4gr

 GARS, W4GR, Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society was at it again.  We were at Sweetwater Park in Lawrenceville, GA.  Over a hundred folks visited our 8A setup.  One thing different than in the past was 3 20 meter dipoles on one stretch.  PSK, CW and phone.  We did the same with 2 40 dipoles.  Meal time (breakfast, lunch, dinner, mid night snack, breakfast, lunch) was a treat as always.  It was hot, and water was disappearing fast.  Bands were cooperating this year with 8A, it takes a lot of operators and it's a whole lot more fun if their band is open.  It's not a contest, so who's counting.  We did much better than the privious year and had a great time doing it.  The 20, 40 CW guys lead the pack with points and the 40 voice was next.  Our Field Day chair, KA4KKF, does a great job.
