WVARA listed with two All-Time Field Day Records

The ARRL's National Contest Journal has come out with the latest listing of All-Time Field Day Records, and WVARA made this year's list twice:

2009: 9A battery category: WVARA made 1453 QSOs, with a score of 14,405

2004: 10A battery category: WVARA made 1081 QSOs, with a score of 10,240

WVARA Has an Awesome Field Day!

Field Day is a great opportunity to get outdoors, gain experience assembling equipment in the rough, and operate a station under challenging band conditions.  This year the weather was hot, but so were the bands, with plenty of contacts made by our West Valley Amateur Radio Assoc team.  We operated QRP in the 9A Battery from Mora Hill overlooking Los Altos, California, from an elevation of 500 feet. 
Refer to our Field Day page for more details on this year’s adventure!
