20 Meter Digital Field Day Station
By Jim Wright, N2GXJ
Thanks to everyone who came by for a bit of socializing and operating at the 20 Meter Digital Station at Field Day this year. It was a very popular station! Many of those who helped at the 20 Meter station also helped at other stations. That’s great! Thank you so much! A huge recognition of thanks in general to everyone who participated in field day this year, given the hot weather conditions. Special thanks to those who helped at the 20 Meter Digital Station, including :
And to the many others who stopped by for a visit and/or to give digital a hands-on try. Without your help, we would not have been able to achieve the positive results we did. Thank you!

How Did We Do At Field Day 2024?
By Jim Wright, N2GXJ
A huge thank you to everyone who helped out and participated in this year’s Field Day! So how did we do?
The punch line might be, we survived!
As you probably already know, it was heat-wave hot out this year. And not just for us. It was like this in many locations across the country this year. Yet, as a testament to the can-do attitude and tenacity of your fellow Club members, somehow, collectively we pulled off a 9A sized multi-day outdoor field day effort with bonus activities, with plenty of great food and camaraderie shared by all who came out!
Thank you to everyone, it was quite the group effort!
But more about that at the July 3rd Club meeting and in next month’s CrossTalk. So how did we score this year?
Well, as the guy who volunteered to collect up the station logs and the required evidence of the bonus point activities we wish to claim from our on-site w2mmd field day activities and get them electronically submitted to the ARRL for their review, I’m still working on that. Though the official scores and rankings won’t come out from the ARRL until published in the December edition of QST, I hope to have a preview of our claimed scoring ready in time for the July Club meeting.
So come on out to the July 3rd meeting for some free pizza, crazy field day stories, and (hopefully) an early glimpse of our claimed score. Hope to see you there!
