Had a GREAT time this evening recording a Ham Radio Workbench podcast, about putting on a large-scale Field Day setup (like the 23A that we pulled off with #CVARC this year). I'll hold off on details until I know more about release dates and so on, but we covered a lot of fun stuff in addition to Field Day.

Thanks to George @kj6vu, Vince @VE6LK, Mark @n6mts, and Thomas K4SWL @qrper!

Field Day is always fun and adventure here on the high plains. This year, wind gusts had us all scrambling to hold down the tents so we didn't bake in the sun.

Curious about amateur radio, emergency communications, or disaster preparedness?

Stop by to see a demonstration and learn more about radio at Queen Elizabeth Park on Saturday afternoon (south parking lot, near the dog off-leash area and tennis courts)

I'm a member of all three clubs listed, and the FD Coordinator for CVARC, frequently the largest operation in the country. Not that I'm bragging. Yeah, not at all. ;)

Every year, local ham radio operators conduct 24-hour “field day” exercises in Hidden Valley, at the Reagan Library, and all across North America. These exercises demonstrate that amateur radio continues to operate even if we lose power and cell service, a key consideration given the need to maintain communications during emergencies.

Field Day is also a lot of fun. Newcomers can learn about ham radio and watch experienced operators try to make as many contacts as possible during the 24-hour drill. With a lot of coaching, I even made two contacts – one in Florida and one in Pennsylvania!

We're doing a lot better since we abandoned Windows/N1MM... Turns out some Windows sound-card driver issue was causing us to miss out on A LOT of signals...

Sound card issues look resolved after switching to Fedora Linux (@fedora).
