Field Day 2026 - K7T - 2D AZ
Saturday and Sunday June 27 & 28
OVARC operated FD 2026 from Rod Gowdy's (KU0W) home station.
With the participation of 40 people, the club racked up over 825 QSOs using SSB, CW and FT8 modes across 6 HF bands. Two stations were used for the effort: a Flex Aurora and Yeasu FT-DX-10. A triplexor was used to allow simultaneous use of a Mosley 10-40m beam between the two stations.
The pictures on this page show some of the participants during this years contest.
Thanx to all who participated and made this years operating event a huge success !

During an extended event of this nature, downtime and a chance to "decompress" is very important between operating sessions.
