@nodlek @ae4ct We'll be on digital modes during Field Day. Please look for K4XY/K4HTA (for GOTA).
We'd love to have you in the log :)

@ae4ct Welcome to the mastodon and thanks for following!
How is mastodon.hams.social different from mastodon.radio?

We're ready for #FieldDay. Are you? #arrlfieldday #fieldday2023

Still looking for an antenna for your #FieldDay or #POTA station? Why not give a try to an End-Fed Half Wave #EFHW #antenna? Simple to build, easy to deploy. https://youtu.be/YwffN-qZzhY #hamradio #hamr #arrlfieldday #fieldday2023 #2023FieldDay

Do you remember that #ARRL #FieldDay is coming soon? How do you prepare for it?
This is how Vienna Wireless Society does their preparations

Many of us still remember how afraid we were to ask an experienced operator to stop whatever they were doing and allow us to make come contacts, or how difficult it was to overcome mic fright; We have reserved time on each stations for exclusive use by workshops participants, with no pressure to "make points", and with support from experienced operators.

Participants will learn about radiosport, use of amateur radio as a public service activity and emergency communication, and will have a chance to get answers to all their amateur radio related questions they always wanted to ask, were too afraid.

If you are interested in joining one of the workshops, please email us at contact@viennawireless.net
