[FCARC] Field Day 2013 - a quick review

[Craig Szczublewski]

The rigs and antennas are packed away for another year and the tents and 
equipment dried from a severe thunderstorm Saturday evening, and so ends Field 
Day 2012 .  The weather caused us some disruption (we lost our digital team for 
most of Saturday from storm damage) we had a good run as a 6A.  Thanks to 
everyone who helped with setup and tear down, and everyone who stopped out to 
talk and observe.  Here are some highlights from the logging we captured I'd 
like to share:

We ran a 6A class this year

Total CW QSOs: 32
Total Digital QSOs: 58
Total Phone QSOs: 397
Total: 487

With bonuses and power multipliers, we have a preliminary score of 2104, which 
was a major drop from last year, mostly due to not having dedicated CW 
operations and digital for only about half of the event.

A breakdown by operators includes:

     33 KC8ZBC
     45 KB2AVN
     68 KD8JBS
      9  KC8UOM
     73 K8LI
     32 W8AN
     74 KB8ELG
     25 KD8KBU
     16 KD8NAU
     51 KG8XG
     59 AB8RC
      2  KC8PCU

We worked 46 states, 4 Canadian provinces, and 3 DX entities.  We also logged 
QSOs on 7 of the 12 available bands.

Let me know your thoughts on this Field Day and how you think we could improve 
for Field Day 2014 (kd8kbu at arrl.net <mailto:kd8kbu at arrl.net>).


Last, if you have photos you would like to share, please pass them along to me 
and I'll get them on the club website.
