The Tri-Club Field day even made it to YouTube, titled something like
Texas Hams Tune Antenna, showing a Yagi on a mechanical lift, with ropes
used to turn antenna..
I felt I was there in spirit, by seeing the video, hopefully the video
will be linked on BVARC and Echo web sites for all who could not make it
to see..

The K3’s should be cooled off by now. The operators should not be
hearing “CQ Field Day” or “Your 5,9 in South Texas” in their dreams.
The body should have recovered from the sun (or at least you are not
quite as red). With that said, the 2016 Tri-Club Field Day is over.
With three CW stations, three SSB stations and two digital stations,
the tri-club event brought in over 3000 contacts during the 24 hour
period under the 8A classification (I can’t forget the 6 meter station
and the GOTA station). It was successful event that couldn’t been done
without the help of so many people.
This year’s event from my view point was an extremely successful event
even with the new location “issues”. With everyone’s help and
perseverance, the event succeeded in what it was supposed to do –
set-up in unknown area to provide communications. The event also
succeeded in having a station for new hams to operate and a unofficial
forum for exchanging ideas on antennas, equipment installations and
operations. Basically a perfect Field Day.
I will send out a full update on Field Day in the next few weeks once
the points are tallied. It was a successful event that could have not
been accomplished with the club’s members and visitors.
Again I want to thank everyone for their help for the 2016
BVARC/TDXS/ECHO Field Day.
