Field Day Saturday Results

[Adam_VE3FP]

Just using my home station operating 1D. Using the ANAN7000DLE at 100 watts. Antenna is the 40m double extended zepp. At 8:30 pm I have about 30 contacts on 80 and 40m ssb. So this is just an update, will keep going. 73

Bad start for me this FD. I was camping till Friday and I used my T2FD Antenna that I used on past FDs at the campground. So now I put it up at home and thought this was  easy FD setup but things didn't work out that way. SWR was between 7 and 10 so something didn't make sense. I checked everything and found my balun was the problem so I had anther one partly wound and replaced it. Now a new problem! I can hear stations but can't make any contacts. By 6pm I had 4 contacts, so I thought I will give up on this years FD but don't give up easily. Got my OffSet Diple out and not have to get it up in the trees. Couple of 807s  later I got it strung up. SWR under 2.5 on all 80 - 6 meters. Happy again. 
Now I am making contacts.  41 on 80, 159 on 40 and 13 on 20. 
Going to bed now and start again in the morning. Hope the bands cooperate tomorrow.
