Field Day Report

[Buck]

The 40 Mtr CW station for the mighty Rappahannock Valley ARC (K4TS 6A
VA) achieved a new club record of 1,000 QSOs (not including dupes) by
12:30 Eastern Sunday morning.  OPs were K4IA, K4GMH and N2FW.

The star of the show was the K3s.  It held off the phase noise from
other Xcvrs, RFI, tuner-uppers, CQers, QRM, QRN, FakeNews, Russian
interference, the Loch Ness monster, Thor's hammer and anything else
that came near the wire.

Wow, what a rig.  Thank you Elecraft.

PS - The best shower of the year is the one after Field Day.

That is the best feeling when your club and ops reach that magic 1,000
Qs.  W4DFG - Dutch Fork Amateur Radio Group did it last year - that was
a real giggle when it happened. Congratulations!!

What? That's it?  No Black Hole Quantum Foam phase noise? No Alien
Invaders hovering over the field? No little old ladies complaining about
the strange signals being received in their bridgework and hair curlers?

Man, you had it good.
