Field Day 2025 Statistics

A map of of the United States and Canada. Every state, territory, and province is colored in except for Saskatchewan.
The ARRL and RAC sections worked by W5FC during Field Day 2025. A heroic last-minute effort got us the East Bay, but Saskatchewan, gigantic as it is, somehow eluded us.

The DARC held Field Day 2025 at the Johnston Outpost YMCA, and the air-conditioned location was as popular as ever. The only complaints heard concerned the Afterglow Movie: Colossus, the Forbin Project was apparently a bit too realistic. As other clubs wound down their operations, operators came to visit the DARC site late at night on Saturday and early on Sunday morning. A group project on Sunday morning netted us copies of the ARRL Field Day Bulletin. The big tear-down crew on Sunday finished the job in record time and there was plenty of cold water for all.

A jagged line, mostly white, moves from left to right across a black background. The elapsed time is along the bottom axis, and the QSO rate is along the vertical axis. The line becomes mostly blue after midnight on Sunday morning, indicating mostly CW contacts being made. The line has a very strong peak late on Sunday morning.
A graph of the club’s contacts for each hour during Field Day. When the line is blue, CW is outpacing other modes. When it’s green, SSB is winning. White indicates that digital modes are the leader. Sunday morning was a very busy time!

I hope that you got on the air! This year, the statistics have one improvement of the report from 2024: at long last, Travis KI5PGM is TM, and Tony NT5TM is AM. You’ll see the individual operator statistics near the end of the report.
