  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.
