Save the date!? At the pleasure of the Club's President I am hosting a Winter field day event at my QTH on? Jan. 25th.? More details to follow.? If you have any questions please feel free to reach out here, on Winlink, or you can find my email on QRZ.

?

Before you ask my radio shack is climate controlled, has plenty of room, and most recently a functioning latrine.? We won't be roughing it too hard on Minnesota's frozen tundra.? I hope to see you there.

?

?

This is a great idea!!? Thanks for hosting.

Happy to do it! Just make sure you do your part and show up with your swanky gear and a positive attitude hi hi!

I'll bring a couple extra radios and enough power for everyone to operate on battery or solar and maybe a few adult beverages for after the activities.?

For anyone interested; here's a PDF of the WFD25 Rules

But what if I have no "swank"

Just show up Bill.? You're swanky enough as it is.? Hi!

We'll have enough room and radios for everyone to have a go at making some contacts on HF.

?

Technicians are welcome as well! It's a great opportunity to see the HF world in action if you're curious about working towards your General ticket!

UPDATE!? I plan to have the festivities start at around 1300 CST.? I will have some snacks and things available.? There will be some bottled water as well.? Nourishment and hydration are of the utmost importance!? We will be using the club's callsign as I believe Ben has already set it up.? If you don't have a portable station, or are short on portable power, fear not! We will have some extras, and enough power that we could jumpstart Space-X if we were called upon to do so.? Show up with what you have even if its just a smiling face.??

?

The end will be TBD.? If you are so inclined, libations for the after action review will be supplied on your own accord.? I hope to see you here on the 25th.

?

If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns feel free to reach out to me here, via email at KF0OUA@..., or you can also find me on Winlink.

I forgot about the ... thing. My email is KF0OUA atfor gmail dot com.

We had a great turnout for yesterday's festivities! Thank you to everyone who showed up. We made a few contacts and shared plenty of BS. Thank you to the new faces that found there way here it was great meeting you for the first time. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do more of these activities in the future. I think that this club is growing into something special.

Attached is a statistical analysis of our Winter Field Day QSO's (shenanigans).

I had an awesome day on 15 meters Sunday. Over 200 contacts.
