[SCCC] Field Day - Please help out the locals

[Dino Darling]

So much with keeping the FIELD in Field Day! The ARRL has been screwing the pooch these past few years but really went too far when they allowed Class D stations to count other Class D stations for points. There was a reason that rule existed for DECADES. The newbies love it and the event is now called Home Day.

No, not a typo.  I was 4D last year and there were a fair amount of 5D and 6Ds last year as well as one guy who was a 9D!

It's the number of transmitters that are sending at once.  Four of my stations are FT8, that's a no brainer.  Click "Enable TX" and you're good to go.  The LoRA is a similar beast.  Press send on the phone, it bluetooths to the device and TXs the message.  #6 and #7 will be me pressing the pickle on two HTs at once and calling CQ on 2m and the 220 calling frequency.  I figure I'll work the HTs like that for most of the day and see what happens.  I'll be between the three main HT bands.  I don't expect to get many points from VHF/UHF or 6m for that matter, but we'll see.
