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.

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!

This includes the New England QSO Party (6 NE states), 7th Call Area (8 states), Indiana and Delaware.
QSO parties are a great way to pick up states you need to WAS on different bands. With better propagation lately, you may even be able to get some 10 meter states.
To make it easier to log, the organizers of these four events will all accept logs with contacts of the others. They will filter out the … Click for more
