ARRL Field Day 2023 with 2 different radio clubs in Colorado

[@K0KWH]

Thanks for taking the time to support field day and putting this together, we all love what you do. The guy in the Ham Radio 2.0 shirt, the FTdx10 setup, and Montana RV are beautiful (I might be a bit biased, lol). Hope you don't mind me adding some info for those who might be curious - We had 3 primary stations, 1 CW, 1 FT8, 1 SSB (CW stayed as CW the whole time - a few times we had both the others on SSB and/or FT8 at the same time, different bands) - we had a GOTA station, and a VHF/UHF station. As far as the antennas, there were 2 - 80-10 EFHW's (you mentioned the one by the road, there was another about 250' to the west streched between a couple of trees), 1 - G5RV, 1 - Buddihex Beam (20-6), 1 - MPAS Vertical (160-6), 1 - Vertical VHF/UHF (I never did ask what it was), and 1 - VHF/UHF Yagi. I'm glad you mentioned the bandpass filters, they are an essential part of multiple stations in close proximity. It was a good time and as always, we're already looking forward to next year.

Two different club field days in one 24hr period, that's gonna make the rf time/space continuum collapse in on itself. Your videos are always insightful and interesting. Thanks for sharing. 73. KC3UEE.

Thanks @kidbach. I’m not gonna say I had a time turner like in Harry Potter but I was at least able to check each one out without staying the entire day. I should be hitting two different states coming up around next weekend. I hope to do a SOTA and a POTA both in Kentucky and in West Virginia maybe around the 6th - 8th of July. Ham-Solo K0FYR

Thanks Derek. I’m glad I was back in state long enough to get to both Field Day sites. The PPRAA location looked great especially with grabbing all those bonus points with the Scouts and the GOTA setup as well as the OEM trailer. Ham-Solo K0FYR

Hey, I was just north of you on Field Day in Grand County. We’re camped by Kremmling, Colorado. Got any suggestions for a summit to activate in Rocky Mountain NP?

I think Castle Mountain or Eagle Cliff both near Estes Park would be good hikes. Not the tallest by any means but a decent outing. Ham-Solo K0FYR
