Cindy said it. It’s fixin’ to get a little warm this weekend. But whilst we endure a slow roast … at least it isn’t as bad as last year
Ok folks, here are the log details from the W4W Field Day:
First off, according to Miss Cindy, we only had 2 transmitters (stations) on the air at any one time that actually made contacts. This would put us in the 2A category.
Does anyone else have any info to agree or disagree on the number of transmitters?
Our stats are:
Total Contacts by Band and Mode:
