[SCCC] Field Day - Please help out the locals

[Neil Jessen]

I worked several "Delta" stations with multiple radios.  7D, 8D, 4D.  I am ok with Delta stations (gives old-timers, people with limited mobility a chance to participate, etc.) but the emphasis for FD is Field...not working from home.  Delta to Delta shouldn't count. It shouldn't be made attractive to stay inside and work from home.  That's my $0.02.

73,
Neil - N6VHF

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.
