- We had to move our site from Williston, VT to Essex Junction, VT, but this provided us with more room and seemed to work well. Thanks to the Vermont Forrest & Parks Department for their help. Yes, this is an actual state park (US-5564). Even though it rained most of the time we had fun and exceed our QSO total from last year. Thanks to all the volunteers who set up, tore down and operated this year.
Very nice setup I like the big green military tent (if that's what it is)
The park you were at is nice also. 73 N5UXI
Good Job Guys... 💯👍
Bob K1BIF - Great job with the video! Thanks for doing that. Looks like the main station had 3537 QSOs, which is down about 300 from last year. I don't have data on the GOTA station. It was a fun weekend.

Nice setup. I worked you 20M CW at 1707 06/23 -- N8CPA.
I heard the phone stations give the class as 2A, but there seems to be 3 or 4 transmitters (not incl. GOTA). Were you taking timeslots between phone & CW, and is that more productive for score than to run 3A or 4A? Always trying to learn more, thanks for sharing your insights.
Phone and CW had 2 transceivers, but only one was used at a time, the other could be used to listen to see if another band was better at any given time, plus there would be a spare if one radio went down. We have a satellite station, plus a UHF.VHF station. GOTA had 2 radios, one for SSB and the other for FT8/FT4 - only one used at a time (switching between FT8 and SSB is easier for new hams if you use 2 radios). Some in our group think 4A wold be better for us, but that's for a future discussion.
Phone & CW are in two separate tents, several hundred feet apart. One operator for each mode, no timeslots.
What mast system did you use for those yagis?
Surplus military 50 foot masts.
