The 2018 Field Day results have been published. The combined Kings County / Annapolis Valley ARC entry was NUMBER ONE in all of Canada in any category, with 1892 QSOs and a score of 6448! Overall we were 131 of 2902 participants.
These are excellent results, and clearly show the benefits of two clubs working together to provide emergency communications support. Well done to all those who took part!
