    Field Day thread

    Are we doing one here?

    I'm planning to operate the '130V and the '660...possibly at a friend's place to demonstrate amateur radio, and possibly on battery power. (This is a change from several years past when I operated bicycle mobile and used VHF/UHF FM simplex.)

    Hope to work a few of our members if any of you folks are so inclined...

    I finally hooked up with the local club here, W7AZ.

    They will be running 3A with NO LOGGING PROGRAM!

    That's going to be interesting. FD old school.

    I'm thinking this is probably a hunt and pounce group judging from the email I got and the photos on their website. I'm going to try to run 'em anyway and see if I can keep up with a paper log and separate paper dupe sheet.

    I haven't logged THAT way since 80's!

    Carbon paper, I remember that stuff. We used to use it to get dinosaur tracks...
    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.

    I'll likely be on 40 or 15, whichever's open.

    I LIKE THAT!!! I prefer to do a paper log and then do the DUPE SHEET later but they have these DARN COMPUTERS they want us to use. I still log on a yellow tablet and let the guy on the computer try to transcribe the contacts I made.

    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!
