I set up at a park but I'm afraid I wasn't really up to being out much... And work and plans Saturday interfered, and I hid inside from dry lightning on Sunday after visiting the Seattle ACS setup.
I mostly tuned around 20m, tried SSB and PSK31 a bit but didn't have any luck on either of those. Bands were *crowded* and possibly a magnetic loop isn't the best choice for contesting. 😪 Got one JT65 QSO down, but not for FD. Given more time (or CW...) I'm sure I could have made a few QSOs but between scheduling and weather I only had about an hour and a half on the air. -Amy K3ISI Sent from infinite squirrels at infinite keyboards > On Jun 29, 2015, at 5:44 PM, James Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Wondering how many ops on this reflector had a KX3 station running this past > weekend in Field Day?
