Hi Collin,

Our Field Day was a blast this year.  I had the experience, new to me, where
the club used my call.  It's kind of fun and a little strange to hear
everyone around you using your call.  <GRIN>  We had stations on 40 SSB, 20
SSB that also did a little work on 15 yesterday morning when the band
opened, a satellite station and a PSK31 station along with our CW position
where we used my TS-480 and my good friend, N7UO, and I shared the work.  I
had a concert to go to on Saturday night with the XYL so missed about five
hours of the operation but I started the day on 20 at 1800 and worked almost
all the afternoon with a couple of breaks until about 0000 UTC.  Then, when
I got back, Frank crashed and I spent the night and very early morning on
80.  We couldn't get the antenna to load on 40.  We'll change that next
year.  <GRIN>  We both spent time on the CW station yesterday morning.  We
had more Q's than last year for all of us, enjoyed some great company, good
food and had a real blast.

Hopefully, we will see each other on air next year as well.  And, I think we
might have worked you guys Collin but I can't remember.  Take care and very
73.

Kevin :)
