This weekend, K1WAS crackles to life at the Westport Observatory for ARRL Field Day 2026! Join ham radio operators from across North America June 27-28. Licensed op or just curious, come experience the action in our ham shack. All ages welcome, and it doubles as a national emergency comms exercise. Real purpose, real fun.

To help more hams enjoy CW on #FieldDay, LICW is offering 9 focused training and practice sessions each week in June, covering: the structure, rhythm, and flow of a Field Day CW contact, including listening, sending, the Field Day exchange, common abbreviations, recovery, and confidence-building in a real operating context.

* open to all amateur radio operators.

Description of #ARRLFD station for 2025. Quick blog write up for this year’s field day operating event. Station overview: QRP (5 W), 100% Natural Power, One Radio, One operator, CW contacts only.

Plan to pull together logs and complete the ARRL submission next. (Will update blog listing with submission details and score results as well.)

Thanks to all for the FD contacts. Had a lot of fun with CW again this year!

#ARRLFD memories… It’s been two days since working any CW contacts and realizing that morse code is still being heard occasionally — in the sound of a running ceiling fan, in the car while driving down the road, even while hearing a distant train horn with a rumbling freight train background. Have noticed this also in years past shortly after the field day event. Could it be CW withdrawal? 73

Looks like I finished #FieldDay with 103 contacts

not a ton, but a decent amount 🙂

especially for being an unplanned 1D, lol

Field Operations Enabler: The lowly accessory plug (previously called a cigarette lighter plug) to Power Pole adapter. Power jacks are available in many vehicles, but importantly available in many portable power packs. Have two sets of these adapters and used one for the #ARRLFD event to power the IC-705 and LDG IT-100 tuner. Wrapping up field day is a great time to review your emergency kit and ensure you have all the adapters/cables needed to operate away from home. #HamRadio #Emergency
Our last and 184th Field Day contact was our 9-year-old daughter closing the deal with W0ZRT in ND for the youth bonus points! #ARRLFD #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
