[SCCC] Field Day - Please help out the locals

[Ryan Huggins]

Out of curiosity, since the clasification isn't mentioned until after contact has been made, how would you know someone is a D so as not to work them? Seems like that would be a big waste of time if you get into a qso just to have to leave midway through.

Interestingly, I probably have more D stations in my log than A stations and barely and Bs. No Cs or Es

I'm over 200 QSOs and closing in on 900 points with what's left of the people out there. I suspect that most of the A stations are done for the day now. I know mine is, due to the 24 hour rule if you setup early.

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.

> 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.

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.
