Well for this year I decided to take the prime slot on field day and opened the show on 40 ssb. Ran for 2 hours before giving up my seat and managed a weak 261 q's. Should have made at least 300 to 350 in first 2 hours. Ran some 80 meter psk31 in the middle of the night for 63 q's. The rest of my time was used up teaching a dipole building class and running tech support.
We ran 3 stations. 1 cw 1 ssb and our GOTA station. All together we did about 2000 q's operating as W6A. All in all we did pretty good. Picked up most of the bonus points, including out sat qso. Everyong went home tired but satisfied with our preformance.

IIRC you're Canadian, is there a database to look up Canadian Calls?

Anyone know of a database for MARS calls?

Does anyone here actively participate for Field Day?

The club that I belong to goes all out for Field Day. In fact we join forces with a nearby club and we work as a huge team for Field Day at a large county park where both clubs are active.

A couple of years ago we have EIGHT stations running. I think this year we're close to that number.

This is our largest event of the year (other than the Marine Corps Half Marathon). We get serious about Field Day, but we also have a great time as we have one of our club members serve full meals (this year we're smoking a pork butt!)

At our club meeting on Tuesday, we disucssed how we can earn bonus points and set off to do just that as much as possible. I run the club's social media, so that part is easy.

Anyways, just wondering who is active in Field Day and what does your club do?
