Field Day Results
Well, Field Day 2017 is in the books. Even with the mediocre propagation, we were were a small, but busy group enjoying Navarre Beach and Amateur Radio. The Navarre Press wrote up a very nice article on us. We even got the reporter to try his hand at making a contact, even though it was unsuccessful.
For 2017, we had 299 QSOs and earned 2318 contest points. For our "Most Contacts" contest, the hands-down winner was K4PV with 109 CW and phone contacts. Runner-up was K4KBD with 32 phone contacts.
Several ideas were shared for next year regarding locations and other options. Hopefully atmospheric conditions will continue to improve. Thanks to the many people who stopped by and thanks to the few who came out to operate.
