Decent weather, no rain and partly overcast skies kept Field Day today from being too sweltering hot and made operating tolerable. Spent the bulk of today logging, and got on the radio for the last hour of Field Day to make a few more contacts. The club managed to get a little over 500 contacts on the SSB station and I think about 80 or so CW contacts.
I was even hearing a little bit of activity on 6m through my HT, which is something I practically never hear around here. I couldn't make out much of anything, but I was able to tell that it was Field Day activity. No idea where it was coming from though.
Having a little more radio experience under my belt made this Field Day a more enjoyable experience than last year (not that I didn't have a good time last year). Knowing a little more about what's going on really helps and I feel like I was able to make more of a contribution this year.
Looking forward to Field Day next year.
