  • Field Day 2026

    From Rug Rat@1:135/250 to All on Fri Jun 12 00:58:57 2026
    So.....

    Who will be participating in this years Field Day?!

    I definately plan to be operating....

    SSB During the day, and switching to the digital modes at night..
    40m for me works great with DX, not so much for the stateside stations. I think my radiation angle is to high, It is a non resonate verticle with a balun and no way to connect radials to it as far as I know. Though I wonder what would happen if I got a bunch of metal screen and just threw it down in the grass.

    I keep meaning to get a 40/80M dipole at least to run along the fence but have too many other projects going on!


    Would love to get some RTTY in, but it was dead last year. So mostly plan to do FT4 and FT8 for the points.
