Woot, another contest this weekend. All i got to do is set up ALL my gear out in the backyard in a tent, run a generator to the radios, and away i go !!!
This weekend is the SPAR field day event. SPAR is the Society for the Preservation of Amateur Radio, and they are hosting a winter field day event. Don't want no summer pansies for this one. hard core, in your face winter and ham radio in the coldest, worse conditions of the year. what could be better than that ?
Hope this event catches on, since most of the time they do field day in the summer months when it's nice and cozy. everyone sits around and eats hot dogs and hamburgers, and brags about how great there stations are. Bah !!! This event is gonna be while huddled up in a tent, under 2 layers of blankets, while trying to make contacts and keeping the generator going. Just gotta figure out how to make hobo coffee in the tent HIHI
if your interested in REAL radio, and emergency communications in the REAL world, you should give this contest a try. the sight is
