I hope that many of you will find other ways to participate in Field Day even if it is only for an hour. And don’t think Field Day has to be on HF. For those of you who are Technicians, rack up those contacts on 6 meters, 2 meters, 70 centimeters and above. And if 10 meters is open, definitely try that. And don’t forget, sideband is not just for HF. Sideband is great for long distance contacts on 6 meters and 2 meters. I have been talking to my Dad at the house on 2 meter sideband using my Yaesu FT-817 on my bike while I ride the trails up here in Vilas County, WI.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Back to the pictures.
