Ends up that I only had less than 3 hours available to work the event. But I worked 220 some stations on SSB. Wish I'd had more time to do some FT4/8. Lots of fun and many very kind comments from members. Can we have a Red Badge II prior to the end of the year? Art On 12/18/2023 1:01 PM, Boehner, James, N2ZZ via arrl-odv wrote:
Rick,
No joke here, but I saw you posted on 15 SSB, turned the beam to work you, and you were down in the noise level. I tried to find you again on 15 CW and again, no copy. Had to be bad conditions.
But not as bad an experience as when I worked Bob Vallio on CW. My amp had a catastrophic failure with a “bang” and a lot of error lights. Still, muddled through the contact. Fortunately, it was just a fuse.
After working NA2AA on 15 FT4, had a pile up there for some time.

Oh, geez.....Emoji
BTW, I want to give a "shout out" to Carl, K9LA, for his activity from W1AW/9 (Ind) this week. I've worked them on 160 thru 10 meters this past week and Carl has been the operator a lot.

all in the log.
I heard Scott on 20 working people, and I heard Ryan also but never found them or they never found me. Jo worked W7VO also.
That was funny, I was listening to her run from a remote on the East coast and heard Mike calling her so I had her stop and work him. Never would have heard him from Portland in the pile.
She ran 399 Qs in 3-1/2 hours. Non stop.
How can you not love Ham radio right?

Thanks to all who worked Red Badge Day! I worked a number of Board members, a few SM's, and overall had a little over 600 contacts. I think Bill, AC0W, had 700 or so. I heard Director Norris and that HDX guy a lot, too.
It was a great display of ARRL activity and leadership!
