ARRL Field Day is just a few weeks away. How are you participating?

#ARRL #FieldDay

I cranked my version of Morse Walker up to 3–6 simultaneous callers for the first time this evening, and the first time that it gave me 6 stations at once, I pulled one station out of the pile-up on the first try, and got the Field Day exchange right too.

I'll still be the least experienced #AmateurRadio CW #FieldDay operator in the tent (despite being the mode captain—a service role). After the challenging experience of trying to work the WW CQ WPX CW (type that six times fast) contest this past weekend with most operators running at 35+WPM, I can tell you that I really needed this encouragement.

So I found out this week that the Austin Amateur Radio Club is going to be hosting this year's #FieldDay at the Texas DPS Headquarters in Austin. Uh, what? If you want to be inclusive and inviting to anybody distantly interested in radio, setting up shop with the cops is NOT how you go about that. No.

Given that's only a mile from my house, I might attend, but would I really want to?
