I guess we can't compare this past Field Day with other years. Maybe some members were hesitant to participate due to Covid still lingering around but I assume all were fully vaccinated and being outdoors the risk of infecting anyone was considerably reduced.
Also, to get some practice using N1MM is to use it. N1MM is an excellent software for contest logging but can also be used for general logging. Easy to set up and use. The only thing is doesn't run in Linux OS, it's Windows only.
I too agree with Tom that we should have station(s) to cover 80-10m and possibly try 6 and 2m bands if we have enough members.
We were 3A this year and accumulated over 200 contacts. Majority of stations logged were 1A, 1D but came across few which had big station count W3AO 11A MDC, K5WW 10A STX, VE3LON 8A ONS, K2AA 8A SNJ, W9NE 7A IL, W4EZ 6D NC. In my view, general station count was lower than in pre Covid years.
Lets hope we'll do better next year.
