I operated a few hours of Field Day from home. I had two interests:
- RTTY
- 6 meters
RTTY was primarily to help the guys out who actually bothered to get
on that mode. I tried PSK-31 but OMG what a mess, I couldn't get
anyone to hear me, I just gave up.
I did not know what 6 meters would be like. Sunday morning, it was
open to So. Cal/Arizona + a few Texans for several hours. I even
worked a few new grids.
Yes, I know that 1D to 1D QSOs count for 0 points. But it *doesn't*
mean that I can't work other 1D stations. I didn't mind when 1D
stations called me.
I really do NOT like people telling me who I can or can't work during
an operating event, or implying that I'm ignorant of the rules. My
license says I can work anyone anywhere, within the rules dictated by
Part 97 of the FCC code.
