    Dupe checking is so easy in 'MM, I can't imagine going back to a time when that wasn't available. It slows down rate so 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.

    And other 1Ds might get a little pissy if you work them, because it's no points. But whatever.

    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.
