But the WARC bands don’t count for VOTA (?) but good for contacts otherwise!

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.

I wanted to run 10 meters, but it wasn't open here at all. 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!

Oh, geez.....

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!
