Our 2024 Field Day effort took place at NØCOT's Star Haven Observatory and IAAS research facility in Strasburg, Colorado - Thank you Jim and Judy Moravec!!   We operated 2A battery at 5 watts throughout the entire weekend. Antennas were primarily a Force 12 yagi (up 13.7 metres) and wires/dipoles. Transcievers (Elecraft and Yaesu), batteries, cable, wire, keys and accessories were provided by Dick, Jim, Robb, Curt, and Shel (who provided his QRPworks "SideKar" for logging and on-air operating).

100 Bonus Points for Media Exposure!

newspapers (that info will be update here, shortly...)
