Field Day counts: 1435 total, CW: 522, phone 906, no digital (FT-8 program needs improvements). We had contacts in all but two states (AK, HI), 6m= 54; averaged 60 contacts per hour. Beloit Daily News did interviews and took pictures. Suggestions of adding more entrance signage (51 & 14) and Hwy F. A discussion followed on the results and changes. Next year set up a 50’ hinged tower for six meters next to the wooden structure. Brett-K9BY: check into obtaining a trailer for hauling our tower sections and equipment storage.
New Business
