This is the second video of three of the annual ARRL FIELD DAY EXERCISE that happens on the last full weekend of June. this year my 52nd birthday fell on the Saturday it started. This video includes some dx reception of a VK2 (Australia) station, and some shots of the equipment and tent set-up during daylight, a bit better video than the first one......antenna descriptions, and views of the layout of station and set-up. Myself, AB5ZA/7, and Fred, KS7T, were the CW (Morse Code) ops for the club. Fred, KS7T, worked 222 stations on 80M CW in just under 4 Hrs......not bad for 80 watts input on 80, 2.1 SWR, just under 30 Ft. up, and some bad static crashes......665 for Morse code, and 255 for SSB (Voice)....920 total this year.....shooting for the 1000 Q's on CW alone next year......73, and thanks for watching.....please keep comments to a "PG" level.....some kiddos might be lookin'......AB5ZA/7.
