What we Learned

  • 35 visitors. We missed some.
  • Need wider spacing of antennas.
  • Need higher 40m antenna, perhaps back to 12m pole?
  • Setting up logging was on time, but we had heat issues which require paying attention to logging computer and network equipment.
  • Need to announce publicly Field Day for Club.
  • Need Welcome Person & more lead time for planning.
  • Needed more operators & loggers.
  • Need more photos, missed people.
  • Good to see new facing and get to know club members in person.
  • Fix shade issues West side pavilion.
