Thanks to all those who participated in Winter Field Day 2023 event at the station. It was a big success. According to the logs, the following people participated:
There may have been one or two others who came out, but I am not sure if they operated as they were not in the log.
We made 689 contacts in about 18 hours of a 24 hour event. We ran 3 stations of which 2 were phone and 1 cw.
i hope everyone had a good time and I hope to see the same level of enthusiasm and participation at the next club station event.
