Follow up on the ICOM IC-7000 screen capture task: Was able to connect the Sensoray 2250S USB video capture module to the Ham Win10 PC and the radio’s video output and captured the still image shown below. Was unable to get video working properly. Will set this aside for now and continue with other 2026 FD preparations (such as setting up the IC-7000 RigBlaster P&P radio interface for digital modes and control). #HamRadio #FieldDay #FailureButKeepGoing

Field Day Ponderings? Which radio to use this year? Have an ICOM IC-7000 HF/VHF/UHF shack-in-a-box that might be fun to use (especially if running SSB/other modes where a little extra power is appreciated). It has a screen video output port that might be fun to display on a large(r) monitor as a bonus. But does the USB screen capture module work with it? First steps: Find USB module & needed wiring adapters to plug into radio, and load drivers & sample program onto PC.

Use the last hours to work us in #IARU Region 1 #Fieldday in #morsecode under DM3F/P from #Hirtstein in the #OreMountains. There are still plenty of #QSOs available! #HamRadio #Amateurfunk #S07 #Saxony #mountains

We had a beautiful moment when the early sun reached into the shack.

I worked the early morning shift from 04:00 to 07:00 cEST. Not so much going on on the bands. Only few DX contacts.

Were on the Air now with DL0AT/P in the Region 1 CW Field day! I'll be operating my first shift from 16:00 UTC onwards.
Hope to get you in the log.

We are working 100W on a trap dipole in the unassisted category.

@KF5QHQ Planning a totally separate station at my QTH using temporary station for that event: outside vertical antenna, 50’ feed line, operating table, etc., at opposite end of house from my tiny everyday all-indoor QRP mag-loop ham station. Have operated 1 QRP (5W) radio, CW, two operator, all natural power in past with good results. #HamRadio #FieldDay #OldNeedAC

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.
