Coming late into this thread, but my thoughts: I have participated in 2 field days in my brief ham radio life span (since 2007). First one was two years ago, and I participated in this years. This y

I have to differ with the sentiment to make FD into a full blown "unknown when it happens" Em Comm event. There is already one or more of those under national ARES training, and it is called the Nati

Stuart's points are well put in my humble opinion. If the ARRL followed Lou's suggestions, I'd wager that the participation in Field Day would tend to diminish rather rapidly than what it seems to be

Golly... Stu... I wonder if there is room for more than one type of emergency practice exercise each year? FD would not really crowd or obsolete your ARES SET exercises, but I sorta like the notion t

Well I agree that the ARRL evolved FD has become a coat of many colors. My main point was that there is already an annual emergency communications exercise, the SET, under ARES as the emergency commu

That is a good question... I suppose it may be because FD is open and intended for all hams of all stripes, while the ARES event is really only open to ARES guys... and is more focused on its specifi

If it didn't function in part as a contest, I predict that participation would decrease greatly. I don't turn out for SET, so I probably wouldn't if FD were less of a contest. It's one of my favorite

Heck, Stuart, it gets cold enough in June at 7,000' ASL! We get winds that uproot tents sometimes. And the campground may be closed after Labor Day, since it's on USFS property. 73 de Jim - AD6CW ___

Jim, If you are use to cooler weather FD, then you should try FYBO (Freeze Your Butt Off). FYBO is a winter field day held in early February and sponsored by the Arizona ScQRPions. It is popular QRP

Me! I used an Eagle in the European FD. Loved it MUCH better than an OMNI VI.... because I had to carry it up the steep hill to our summer house. Summer "House" is a bit exaggerated. It has a roof, w

Wow Stuart, using a 30m dipole on 15m is really a worst case scenario. There is a quick and simple cure for that. Just fold back each end about 5 ft., simply wrapping the wire back along itself. This

Rick, Maybe next FD you can get a couple of hams to help you and enter as a non club "group" (B category in ARRL speak). Yeah, I don't know why that FD capt. did not fold back the ends of his 30m ant

Lowering the contest power to 100 watts greatly mitigates possible inter station interference. We used double shielded coax this year which allowed 3 100 watt stations to have 3 coaxes run together t

Stuart, this was an interesting post. The power part was a no-brainer but the dual-shielded coax is something I haven't tried in that environment. I would be interested in knowing what kind of radios
