While my last two Field Days were as a 1B on an island in Wisconsin, this year took me to the Nevada desert where I operated as a 1C.  Since I was in Las Vegas for a reunion on the weekend, I did not want to miss Field Day so I set up on Sunday in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.  Running an FT-857 to Hustler resonator verticals on my Jeep, I was able to make 67 contacts on 20 and 40 meter CW and SSB.  I also copied the W1AW CW message coming in loud and clear on 17 meters.  Until 2019, 73 de Scott Los Angeles
