N1EV 2010 - The Greater Norwalk Amateur Radio Club - Norwalk, CT - WWW.GNARC.ORG
The weather in Connecticut was excellent for Field Day weekend...warm, sunny & humid.
We were at our very Public site, Veterans Park, in Norwalk, CT this year and with our crack setup/tear down team we got started at exactly 1800 GMT. For logging, we used N3FJP's Field Day Network 2.5 logging program and once again it performed flawlessly.
We flew an 80M Vertical Antenna on a large balloon. The antenna worked well and fortunately we had very little wind so the balloon was able to fly the full 24 hours.
We filed 3A and were able to maintain a 100+ QSO/Hour average rate during the 24 Hour period. 40 Meters was our best band working every US section except North Dakota.
As for bonus points, we claimed 100% Emergency Power, Media Publicity, Setup in a Public Location, Public Information Table, NTS message to our Section Manager - K1EIC, Five Natural Power QSOs Completed, GOTA Bonus, W1AW Field Day Message, Educational Activity, Site Visit by an Elected Official, Site Visit by a Served Agency Official, Youth Participation and Electronically Submitted Field Day Entry.
