Field Day 2022



Field day was great. N3FAA and I setup a military style setup with Camo and vintage USMC equipment with our local club the Gotahams and commenced operations.

The entire setup including swamp cooler was power from a couple of 100ah batteries fed into a custom distribution hub which had outputs for 24vdc, 12vdc and 120vac. We allowed the UGC-74 to print information from KPH and then switched to ITTY after over the air feed finished. At night we set up N3FAAs IC-7300 and did some CW then FT8 during the quiet hours. We even brought out the MREs to make it official. In the picture below my son Carter is enjoying a Pesto Chicken Pasta MRE.
