Did we score an all-time GOTA high?
Our GOTA Field Day representation this year was a huge success. The GOTA station ran continuously for 24 hours and made 404 contacts! (Our two contest radios made about 880 contacts total - so a very impressive performance from those 'unseasoned' hams).
The biggest challenge was convincing the GOTAs to turn over the mic! ☺
Our plucky and determined GOTA crew included:
- Doug Jeffery VE7JDJ
- Lesley Verhulst VE7CMI
- Dale Burghall VE7LWT
- Ernie Symchych VE7ODK
- Manvir "The Machine" Judge VA7BKI
- UB Adabi VE7UBZ
- Katrina Reynolds VA7WBT
- Alex Sevostiyanov VA7PVC
- Dmitry Sevostiyanov VA7DVO
- Mike Porisky VE7YEG
- Larry Bloom VE7LXB
And thank you to the GOTAs who dropped by to check things out and cheer us on:
- Gary Heald VA7GHD
- Aravind Padmanahban VA7IND
- De Ding (current class)
Fun! Exhausting! Thrilling... and looking forward to next year!
Watch for the Field Day wrap-up article in our next Communicator electronic magazine.

Nice work to everyone who participated in field day! Great turnout at our GOTA radio. @Manvir there is no way people will believe you are a "newby"!
