2012 ARRL Field Day

06/26/2012 | KZ4FL

Despite some circumstances which might have completely stymied lesser hams, the Falls Lake Amateur Radio club persevered through the failure of two  8000 watt generators which forced us to operate only as a 1A station, instead of 2A as we had planned when we switched to a $90 800 watt Harbor Freight generator. The power situation also torpedoed our computer logging capabilities, so we had to do logging and duping by hand.  As a result we are at this time unsure how many contacts we actually made in the 15 or so hours we were actually able to be on the air.

We operated mostly 40 and 80 meter CW with a smattering of phone contacts thrown in.

The weather cooperated for us, but the heat was unbearable at times.  Still, it was a lot of fun.
