Hello all:

As a young ham, I was thoroughly intimidated by the mere thought of
Field Day. "It's fun!", my Elmers told me. I was afraid of not saying
the right thing, or doing something stupid on the air. Worse, I might
break somebody's radio!

None of that bad stuff happened, and I eventually learned that it's now
my turn to encourage new hams. I hope that's what you do, too. For me,
part of the fun of Ham Radio is seeing the light come on in someone's
eyes!

Field Day is more than fun. It happens to be the single largest
operating event in the Amateur world. It truly is an exercise and a
training. You should receive credit for your effort. Don't miss out on
sending the personnel/hours in. The more we report the better it looks.

Thanks!

I hope everyone had a good time at Field Day, and had an opportunity to
see a new ham fall in love with Ham Radio.

73,

J.M.
