Mountain sloth Stubbsi is quite upset. 🤠 #hamradio
Somehow managed to record and edit the next episode of our start to finish #neurofunk series before I had to leave for #FieldDay2023 - now off to see #AphexTwin!!

Finally starting to feel good after Field Day. It's always such a physical drain on me and I always take off work the following Monday just to recover.
This year I bought a tent and air mattress so I could get some better rest instead of putting the passenger seat in my car all the way back and "sleeping" there. That helped a lot, but still wasn't quite enough. My problem is I haul so much stuff out there like a 13' x 13' canopy, plastic folding table, a few chairs, radios, vertical antenna and surveyors tripod to mount that on, 100' of coax, lighting (although I reduced that this year), food and drinks, etc., etc. It's quite a major effort for me. For the past several years I've tried to cut down to just the essentials, but when you're getting things together, you think everything is essential.

Participated in amateur radio Field Day this weekend for the first time in 20 years. As usual I worked at the CW station. Since I can't copy code well any more I tuned the radio while another ham made the contacts. Had lots of fun! #fieldday2023 #amateurradio
Doing some #fieldday2023 coding on a #hamradio side project, but regex101.com is down for maintenance. How am I supposed to get work done? 😅
So I finally stopped working FT8/FT4 around midnight, with just over 70 contacts in the books with my name on them.
Well, the special event callsign, at least.
Even got my first DX contact in, which was cool. :D
I kinda want to get an amplifier for my x6100 for next year - being able to run a full power station for field day type conditions seems like a cool justification for going from 5w to 100w.
Question is... Amplifier, or different radio? I have to admit, I've become fairly fond of the x6100, for all its quirks. 🤔
Here is my requisite #arrlfieldday social media post: I will be operating AD6DM 1E SV in CM98hj #arrlfd #fieldday2023
Awright, my most important #fieldday2023 supplies are all set up: snacks. Let's get the digital QSOs rolling! I'll be band hopping and working #FT8 and #FT4 to start and then see how the #SSTV traffic is today before I move on to #hellschreiber and #olivia
Off to #fieldday2023! It'll be my first, and I'm liable to make this a bit of a thread if it occurs to me.
Weather looks like crap, so we'll see just how well this turns out. I may do more posting than keying up, considering. 😉
That said, I *am* taking my rig with me. Likely won't set it up, but you never know.
Batteries are charging for #hamradio #fieldday2023! Can't wait to get out there tomorrow!
#fieldday2023 is this weekend! We'll be operating as 3A under our club call KC0RVS from https://goo.gl/maps/hoiyK3bF9GaM3HN4A. If you're in the area, please come out and say "Hi!". We'll put a cup of coffee in your hand and maybe a hot dog, then step aside and let you make a few contacts if you want. Especially if you're a CW operator!
Talk in will be on 447.7750 (156.7) and 146.460 simplex.

Skywide.ca club is headed to field day 2 hours north of #Toronto. #hamradio #amateurradio #fieldday2023 See ya on the air.
We're ready for #FieldDay. Are you? #arrlfieldday #fieldday2023
While I’m bummed I can’t travel cross country to join #NARS (NR7WL) at their field day site, I am planning on participating as 1D EPA and then submitting my scores to be consolidated with the club score👍
I should also be able to convince one or two of my kids to make a contact for the youth participation bonus, but I’ll probably be on the air mostly during the overnight shift when all the littlest ones are asleep.
