[SCCC] Field Day - Please help out the locals

Sun Jun 23 16:41:26 EDT 2024

>From the Rules: 

"4.6. (Class D) Home stations: Stations operating from permanent or licensed
station locations using commercial power. Class D stations can count
contacts with any other station for QSO credit."

This means Class D may work other Class D stations for credit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
