[SADXA] ARRL Field Day

[Dave Mosier]

 I had to miss out on this one. My mother is in the process of moving to Tucson. We got her a house four doors up the street from us. Saturday the movers came and that went smoother than I thought it would. 

Later on I checked the bands out to see what they were doing. I saw some stations calling CQ FD on 30 meters. One guy answered a KL7 calling CQ (with no FD) with his FD exchange. The KL7 then dropped it, but I watch the FDer hound the KL7 for about 15 minutes, not getting it that 30 is one of those off limits bands.

73,

 Hi John,

Nice to hear from you.  In 2001, I made 1040 Qs running from home in class 1E. :-)

The year before I operated from my RV on battery power in a campground in 
Custer, SD and made 192 Qs for the top score in that category in SD.

I was younger then :-)
