[SADXA] ARRL Field Day

[Wes]

At the last minute I decided to operate FD but with a twist.  Rather than 
shooting for a lot of points, which takes lots of operating time, I set a 
personal goal to work all ARRL sections doing Class D, 150W, SSB, single-op 
Search and Pounce.

This required actually working stations to glean their section or listening to 
them work someone else to do so before working them. Several times I heard 
sections that I needed but they had answered someone else's CQ and didn't "own" 
the frequency.

In the end I worked only 161 Qs, got all sections in the US including AK and Hi 
but missed three VE sections, NL, ONN and PE. It took until the last hour to 
work DE and it was 30 minutes before the end when VE8 popped up with a big 
signal on a nearly dead 15-meter band.

Anyone else participate?
