Every Field Day has its challenges.  Last year (2020), due to the pandemic, there really wasn’t a Field Day.  This year was a big improvement, but a shortage of CW operators really hurt, and participation was down as COVID surged yet again.

Nevertheless, Newport County Radio Club, was in the 3rd place NATIONALLY for its Field Day operation in Category 2A (the most competitive).  Hats of to Willy W1LY who did an outstanding job getting the antennas up, Nancy KC1NEK who coordinated the schedules, Paul K1YBE who did an outstanding job with the GOTA station, John Mills who took care of our logging and computers, as well as many others who operated or helped setup the stations or take them down.
