Field Day History

Field Day 2021

Watch for our official results in the December 2021 QST magazine!
This year we were unsure if we would be allowed to use the Edmond Fire Department facility but the COVID 19 new infection rate dropped drastically and our request was granted! We quickly began making plans and held our event. As a result of the uncertainty we only operated 4A and without a club dinner. Visitation was depressed by heavy rainfall, flooding, power outages etc that occurred throughout the weekend. We were off-air from 4 AM to 5:30 AM Sunday due to nearby lightning.

Field Day 2020

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic we each operated from home and submitted results as individuals. ARRL published our club aggregate score in the December QST under “Edmond ARS” with 17 entries and 12,422 points.

Field Day 2019

Score: 8,454 with 2,050 QSO’s and 89 participants!
In a week of rain we had a weekend with sunshine! We were also visited by KWTV News 9 and the Edmond Mayor! This year we had computers purchased from The City of Stillwater and several radios from club members. We also used the Arduino satellite rotor controller and for the first time we added a dedicated 2M VHF SSB station. For digital we used FT8 and PSK31.
K5EOK did very well:

• 7A: 1st in Oklahoma, 1st in ARRL West Gulf Division, 2nd in the U.S. and Canada out of 19 entries;
• All Classes: 1st in Oklahoma out of 24 entries;
• All Classes: 4th West Gulf Division out of 206 entries;
• All Classes: 53rd in U.S and Canada out of 3,112 entries

Well Done!

Our first year as 7A and we held the largest Field Day in Oklahoma! Most of our participants came Saturday during the great weather but Sunday starting at 3 AM we had to go off-air dur to nearby lightning. We ended up having to go off air a few more times Sunday briefly. A line of thunderstorms kept generating to our North West and it kept producing storms and sending them our way. We accomplished (5) satellite SSB contacts using the Arduino Satellite rotor controller! We used PSK31 and RTTY for digital.
K5EOK did very well:

• 7A: 1st in Oklahoma, 1st in West Gulf Division, 7th overall out of 20 entries
• All Classes: 2nd in Oklahoma out of 29 entries behind K5CM 2A effort.
• All Classes: 9th in West Gulf Coast Division out of 179 entries.
• All Classes: 9th in West Gulf Division out of 189 entries.

Field Day 2017

Score: 5,524 with 1,373 QSO’s and 37 participants.

The Daily Oklahoman ran an article on us in every city newspaper the week of but we didn’t have any non-hams come by. This year a tropical storm landed in Louisiana and brought cold air down to us and provided some cloud cover – so the high was 80 degrees and the night time low was 68! Days before FD the forecast was 50% storms but thankfully it didn’t happen (sprinkled for 5 minutes)!  We did hear a lot of lightning crashes in the night hours. We used PSK31 and tried JT65 however communicating/receiving the exchange was tricky.

• 3A: 1st in Oklahoma, 2nd in West Gulf Coast Division, 45th overall out of 322 entries
• All Classes: 2nd in Oklahoma out of 33 entries behind K5CM 2A effort.
• All Classes: 9th in West Gulf Coast Division out of 179 entries.
• All Classes: 208th overall out of 2965 entries.
