Winter Field Day 2024

What a great time !    The weather was a huge challenge..  but fun was had by all !

We were lucky to have some  aspiring new hams stop by and join in the fun..    Kegan (Brandon’s Daughter) mades some contacts and brought homemade chocolate chip cookies! They were a great snack all night long. Nothing like fresh Philly cheesesteaks at midnight and cookies and coffee at 3 in the morning!    We intend to make the good food  a staple at all of our outings!

Thanks to Max (KN4OTT) and Joshua (N5FY)  for all of coordination, setup, and heavy contesting throughout the night !   We had over 1000 contacts, contacted every ARRL, and racked up tons of bonus points by working so many bands and different modes.

And a special  treat this weekend,  Jason (WW1SGT) helped us with APRS contacts, involved everyone in tracking with CalTopo – a new, useful tool for coordinating movements and preparing for operations within our community.
