As the year is coming to a close we finished out the year with the W1AQ Christmas Party.  We had great attendance this year with with 13 people showing up with food.  So much food was eaten and laughter shared!  We started to plan some contests to operate as well and started to look forward in planning future events..  We are looking to also operate Winter Field Day on January 20 and the North American QSO Party on February 23-24.  We are looking for operators to help assist in this event so we can get these going. Thank you all for your attendance!

Field Day Results 2018

Leave a reply
Field Day was a great success for us and we made many contacts (roughly 1400 to be specific) which is an improvement over last year. We were able to operate the radio throughout the 24 hour period and even activity on 15m and 10m opened up in the morning on Sunday until the close of the contest.
 
Many thanks to our operators:
KB1VYI
N2RDF
W1BMG
N1RR
K1JI
W2AQY
 
Most contacts were made on phone while Digital and CW made up about 25% of our contacts. Hope to have even more operators next year as well.
