    Was almost too tired to mess with it, but got on last night for about an hour on 40 phone and made a whopping 26 contacts. Hunted and pounced and wound up with 20 states and 1 Canadian. Would like to have run longer, but had to get up in the morning. FD all over by the time I got home from work today. Next year I am going to make sure I am OFF!! And have the cabin refrig stocked and some antennas up out there again!

    It was sometimes painful to listen to.

    I was planning on operating as a 1E from home, but only had about 15 minutes to do it. I spent the rest of the time at the club field day site, or trying to catch a few ZZZs.

    1e from home powered by 464 AH of battery that was newly installed and charged by a single 140 watt solar panel laying on the lawn. Other 3 panels parked in the house until they get installed next week. Ran 12 hours made 121 contacts using my base tuned 43 foot vertical.
