I want to thank everyone who helped with Winter Field Day 2024. NCRC operated 1O phone only (1 station, outdoors) this year instead of the usual 2O phone & CW.  We completed 748 HF Contacts, 1 satellite QSO, and sent and received 1 Winlink Message. We did not have the best weather this year.  Weather was fine on Saturday, but Sunday was raining all day and cold. However, it was nice and cozy in ticket booth shack.  Midnight to 8 am we had no operators so we had to shut down the station.  Again, Thank You to all.
