Lloyd:

I have a question which has interested me for years.

How in the world can W3AO run 25 alpha?  We worked them a number of times as 
usual this Field Day, and I am amazed at what they seem able to do.

Regarding our club's Field Day operation, we made a total of 730 contacts. 
I made 323 CW contacts with my 20-meter set-up, and the rest were phone 
contacts spread throughout the bands.  We ran a 3A operation, and had an 
absolute blast.

I am still in recovery mode this evening, but am already thinking about next 
year's Field Day, and what improvements we can make to have even better 
results.

I won't be out at an FD station.  Potomac Valley Radio Club will be running
W3AO with 26 transmitters from Howard County, Maryland.  I won't attempt to
run a 40-meter roundtable today, but plan to be on 20 tomorrow on 14258 at
2000Z, if anyone cares to drop in.  I hope to work at least some of you on
Field Day with my 1D fixed station.
