Well, someone needed to do FT8/FT4 so I guess it was me. I did a band walk (activated all bands from 10m through 160 including 12m, 17m, and 30m). Made a total of 160+ contacts using a combination for FT4 and FT8. I had some nice pileups (5-10 callers) on 10m and 15m and went to FT4 to handle the load. I agree with Mike – more of these “Red Badge” activities would be great.

So, I ended up on 15 phone with some 300 Qs in about 3 hours. I spent some time to talk to several SMs, N3KN and other volunteers and Life Members to thank them for their service, so the rate suffered a bit! When 15 died on me I spent about another 15 minutes S&Ping on 20 phone, and found AC0W and KA7LJQ (Jo) running like crazy. We need more of these! 73; Mike W7VO On 12/18/2023 10:15 AM PST k5ur--- via arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote: <<<remote on the East coast>> 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. 73, Rick - K5UR On Monday, December 18, 2023 at 12:07:58 PM CST, Mark J Tharp <kb7hdx@gmail.com> wrote: Agree.

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?

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! 73, Rick - K5UR _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
