2018 ARRL Field Day
First Field Day activity I've participated in since 2008. Been off the air for several years, but my son recently earned his license (KG5ZGW, now W5EAA), so we set our stations up and invited some friends to our QTH for some fun. In total, we had 4 stations on the air and 5 operators... K5YAC (1E), W5EAA (1E), KF5ZOF (1A), and KE7EK (1A) with KG5WWQ assisting. Even though the forecast indicated a high probability of storms, Saturday turned out to be really nice. We worked several stations on 10, 15, and 20, but 40 and 80 were pretty noisy with storms out to the west. Took a break to enjoy a nice meal with Oklahoma style BBQ. We had to pack things up a bit for Saturday night because high winds were coming through, but got set back up early on Sunday to finish out the show. No records broken, but a lot of fun was had by the group. Looking forward to more events in the future.
