    I worked 40m with 22 QSO's and the guys INSIDE (-: worked all the other bands + CW and they got about 220 QSO's

    They had the beams plus a H-dipole.

    I had a tough time at first as the ladder line I was using (right out of the box was about 2x as long as I needed.

    Once that was trimmed to a more managible length. Things started to go allot better.

    Anyway our points were up from last year and Aaron and myself had a great time.

    How did you do?

    Any one else work Field Day?

    I made 389 contacts all on phone. 40/20/10 meters only with a 52 ft long dipole 15 feet off the ground with 100 watts. I could have made more but I went to bed for about 9 hours on sat night and then went out and visited a few local sites on sun morning. :) I wanted to make 1000 which I could have did if I kept at it.
