The best I could come up with is 860 points. I have submitted the information via email. We will have more information at the monthly meeting.
Thanks again to all who worked on this.

2016 Field Day Results
Re: 2016 Field Day Results
I have seen a lot of low scores being submitted this year. The situation was not unique to our set-up and operations. We will build on what we have learned and modify the plan for next year. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time in the chair calling CQ next year.

Re: 2016 Field Day Results
I'll do my best to get my gear sorted out too. We probably should have changed the south antenna to a plain inverted V or tried the OCF dipole approach or something. The loop on that one was just too small, especially for the band conditions. Having a radio making PSK contacts all night would have really helped. Sorry I dropped the ball on that part.
As noted, we'll do better next time.

Re: 2016 Field Day Results
There's a new "portable" version of a HEXBEAM that folds up and sets up quickly. It also can be turned with a TV antenna rotor. This would be something to consider next year.

I also still have the full length OCF and the R5 to use next year.
Oh.....I should be available next year too!!!!!!
