The Willits Amateur Radio Society and McARCS participated in Field Day, which was held on Saturday, June 27th, and Sunday, June 28th this year. We had a total of 21 hams and visitors stop by. The HF bands were more challenging compared to last year but a lot of fun and learning were still had by all!
New antennas were tested, and we even tried new-to-us communication modes - a dozen contacts were successfully made using FT4, and contacts via FM satellites were attempted but unsuccessful.
There were a total of 8 radio operators that made contacts - 3 made CW contacts, 2 made digital contacts, and 5 made voice contacts.
| Contacts by band and mode - 170 total | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| CW | Digital (FT4 & FT8) | SSB voice | |
| 80m | 2 | ||
| 40m | 6 | 74 | |
| 20m | 1 | 40 | 15 |
| 15m | 19 | 13 | |
| Total | 7 | 59 | 104 |
