07/10/2008 | N7DLV We had a colder and wetter Winter and Spring this year and the Cascade Mountains had a huge snow pack. The weekend prior to Field Day, I went to the normal Field Day site to check to see if it was clear of snow and usable to set up a portable station for Field Day 2008.

Unfortunately there was a significant amount of snow on the ground and what areas were clear of snow was wet and muddy. There was just no way the area would be free of snow and dry in time for set up the following Friday for Field Day.

So, I operated as a mobile again this year. Operating class 1C, I made over 200 contacts on 20, 40, and 80 meters.

If you worked N7DLV during Field Day and would like a QSL card, please send a SASE to N7DLV. I'll confirm the contact and will send a QSL card via return mail.
