Well, we knew from the past few weeks the Field Day weather would be hot and
it certainly didn't disappoint us with recorded high temperatures of 96 on
Saturday and 97 on Sunday. Even with most of our crew camping outside due to a
broken air conditioner in a camping trailer, we persevered with contact
after contact while drinking copious amounts of fluids, sitting under
ever-blowing fans, and complaining about the heat. Even with the
propagation being somewhat unstable, contacts seem to keep coming and even
the unpredictable 6 meter band cooperated with a larger number of contacts
