[K3PZN-List] Some More Field Day Analysis

[Curt Milton]

John

thanks for compiling and posting all the info.  

operating from the EOC/FTC was an interesting
experience, and if we consider this venue again maybe
we can check out some new avenues.  

i think i remember the PVARC gang doing some ATV at a
past field day ?  (i wonder who they QSO'ed with?).  i
was also wondering about high speed data transmission
(particularly imagery).  maybe we can strut our
capabilities for the authorities more in this
exercise, perhaps in conjunction with other EOCs?  or
maybe there are other opportunities for this?  

while continuing the run of CW/SSB/FM/HF digital we
may wish to see how we can spread our wings further.  

maybe for a future FD at EOC we deploy a few more
temporary antennas FD-style?  

we had such great capability on 20m CW, we could
likely do a multi-operation for CW SS running QRP
(except i dont know if there is a multi QRP class in
SS!)  

thanks again for pulling it all together this year.  

Curt
