[HCARC] Big Kudos!

[W4wj at aol.com]

Hi All...
 
I'd like to send a SHOUT OUT to Dr. Jim...  Working in the 
background, he completely went over the club's trailer/tower,
with sweat, sandpaper and a fresh coat of paint! It looks
FIRST CLASS!
 
Also, Dr. Jim supplied all the HF antennas that were used during  our
Field Day journey.
 
It's not easy to make a lot of contacts if you have to cruise the  band
looking for stations to QSO...  i.e. you are weak...  
 
The ideal situation is to stay on one frequency and have stations 
call you!  I enjoyed that on Sunday as I sat on 14032 for over
4 hours!  Obviously N5HR was LOUD on 20 CW... a result of our
FB antenna setup!  I believe Gale and John were burning up 40 CW
overnight! N5HR = LOUD!! TNX again Dr. Jim...
 
Oh... K5XA and N9OF et. al. were smoking 20 and 15 SSB!
 
ALSO...  Food and Field Day go hand in hand.  TNX to the  FoodCrew,
especially Ruby and Barb!!
 
I feel pretty special when I can be sitting in a chair, doing HAM  RADIO, 
while others are preparing dinner!
 
I hope everyone who joined us at the barn, felt the fun and the LOVE!
 
 
73,
Don, W4WJ

To  All-

After John H. was up for over 24 hours straight without any  sleep he 
demonstrated how a really great CW operator can run stations and  log at 
the 
same time.  He zipped off over 50 contacts in a about an  hour.  Just think 
what he does when he gets some rest.  In  addition, Ron Drumheller can 
attest 
to Don's CW acumen as well since we  were busy entering his volume of CW 
contacts in the log.  I worked  the night shift and Jeff did a great job on 
20 meter SSB all night.   He just kept going so I call him the "Energizer  
Bunny".



It was a lot of work but it was  fun.
