[FARC] Field Day 2011 Operations at FMH

[M and J Gillespie]

Joe (and FARC Members)

Glad to hear about your field day activities.  I appreciate all you did to 
get K3ERM on the air.

Our grandchildren were visiting this past weekend and I did not do much with 
field day.I would like to tell the club what I did do.

Ten meters is my  very favorite band and at 4:45 PM EDT on Saturday I 
listened to ten. To my surprise I found activity on 10 CW. Operating from my 
home, in 14 minutes I worked S.Texas, N. Florida, Quebec City, Illinois, E. 
Massachusetts, and, would you believe it, W1AW in Connecticut which was 
booming in and easily worked.

There were no "locals"...MD, PA,DC,VA... so the stations I did work were 
probably Sporadic E short skips. I think ten meters is often "open" if only 
there were stations there to send and receive signals! Anyhow amateur radio 
never fails to amaze me.

I do not have six meter capability. Six could have been open.

Best of 73s to you all

Jim Gillespie, K3DQ

I normally count on myself as a big resource for FD, but my XYL is not
feeling well and doesn't think she'll be able to take the boys to the
Frederick Keys Scout night.

My sincerest apologies, but I I'm going to have to scale back the
field day operation to one rig and I'll need someone to cover from
about 5:30p to 7:30a.

Please give me a call 301 471 2943 if you can help.

Thanks & 73 de Joseph M. Durnal NE3R
