Used Equipment Field Day 2000 Field Day 2000 was held at the Hewitt City Park in Hewit, Texas. Twenty local hams showed up to participate, and we had two transmitters in continuous operation. The Waco Amateur Television Society helped, working Slow Scan TV and ATV for additional points. We operated continually on emergency power provided by the generator in the club trailer.

But I didn't have a 2-m SSB rig. Larry loaned me his Icom 2m all-mode transceiver and amplifier to bring the output power to about 70 watts.
