There is a much bigger wrap-up article to come yet but in the meantime, thanks to everyone that came out to Field Day this year. The facility was great as always, the teams worked great together and I believe everyone had a good time. We had around 60 people there and made around 1200 QSOs (preliminary scoring summary here) plus obtained our satellite contact. More to come but in the mean time, take a gander at this fantastic photo from our club president, Pat AA0O.

We have a real-time status display of the operation at this year’s Field Day. The contacts are tracked in real-time and available in several handy graphs. If you can’t make it to Field Day but want to check on our progress, please click on the map at the right side of the website. You can also access it directly at https://www.sparc-club.org/sparc-real-tme-contest-display-dashboard/

Enjoy!
