as i get all the submissions for the amsat field day, some have already
started to come in. one club did have a news reporter visit their site
and they did the interview with their club president in front of the
satellite antennas. hooray for satellite. other antennas were way to
high. will be using that picture in my amsat journal story.

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.
