I will be out there on 20 Meter SSB with my 1964 Hallicrafters SR-400 pumping away into the 3 element tribander at 100Ft as "WA6BGS" BIG GREEN SPIDER
maybe I can sneak away and do a little RTTY with my Ultimate GO Kit VER 2!
I run from around 11AM Sat to about 7PM when I go home for a few hours of sleep and am back at the mic at about 6AM Sunday morning to finish off the morning. Who knows what happens at night, usually not much!
Since I have to work, I'm going to miss Field Day this year for the first time since I got my ticket. But living in the extreme SW corner of the country confers a significant advantage during a US/Canada-only event: if you use a properly-aimed antenna with a reasonably wide main lobe, you don't need to be able to rotate it. This is why Moxons work so well here.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
We're expecting massive rain and thunder for the weekend. I was considering moving the shack to the back yard. We will see what the weather brings us.
If I operate 120vac in the back yard, what would that make me (FD rules wize)?
Sorry. We're not allowed to watch the original music video in the United States because blah blah blah.

I plan to get the K2 out and operate battery power to my vertical in the backyard. Ice cold adult beverages will be consumed.

Thank You. You'd think I had done this before but no. I sat in on a couple of FDs years ago but did not get OTA. I brought drinks.
And other 1Ds might get a little pissy if you work them, because it's no points. But whatever.

That's crucial!
