HamRadioNow: 5 Watt Field Day

In this video *Gary Pearce KN4AQ* shows us amateur radio low power QRP
operation during Field Day

The Field of Beams was in Orange County, North Carolina for a couple days
toward the end of
June - yes, Field Day - set up by hams from the Durham FM Association and
the Orange County Radio Amateurs.

You'll find their call sign, W4EZ in the #3 spot in the Top Ten box in
2015, and a few other top ten's in previous years. An impressive showing,
especially considering their 9A 5 Watt battery class.

The only thing that might shade this accomplishment is that the #2
operation, K6EI in California, was also 5 watt battery, with 11 stations.
(The #4 operation, W5YA, was also 5 watt battery with just 3 stations!)

KN4AQ hit the road to visit this operation and see how they did it. He
didn't have to hit the road too hard. W4EZ was just a few miles west of his
home. So he added one more group, the Alamance Amateur Radio Club K4EG to
the trip. This group may not end up in the top 10 box, but they have just
as much fun.

In the last third of the show (around 1:03:50), Gary plays all the video he
shot at one of the W4EZ CW stations (a totally expert operation) and one of
their Phone stations (with a new, young ham having all the classic
difficulties, "amplified" by the QRP power level).
