[K2] Field Day Fun

[aj4tf]

K2/100 # 7006 (and me) participated in our first Field day this weekend.   Everything worked flawlessly.   I was working a 120-foot doublet fed with ladder line with a tuner at the base,  also the first time out for this antenna.

If you have W4UA in your field day log on either 75m or 15m,  then you heard me with K2 # 7006 on the air.

Although our group was small, and we won't win any awards for number of contacts made, we had a lot of fun!

My field day plans got scrambled, but I got on the air after all and it was
fun.

Fifty QSOs, fifty states. 49 of them were with my K3; I left MO for last,
and called CQ FD with my 2M HT to work a local guy for the final contact.
First time I've called CQ in a contest for more than 50 years.

In some ways it's actually a little harder than working DXCC in 24 hours,
because when you have 99 countries there are a lot of possibilities for
getting that last one, but when you get down to the end of the state roster,
you gotta find that last needle in the QRM haystack.

Anyway, it was really fun and like all hams I'm planning more and better
stuff for next year.
