Had a GREAT time this evening recording a Ham Radio Workbench podcast, about putting on a large-scale Field Day setup (like the 23A that we pulled off with #CVARC this year). I'll hold off on details until I know more about release dates and so on, but we covered a lot of fun stuff in addition to Field Day.
Thanks to George @kj6vu, Vince @VE6LK, Mark @n6mts, and Thomas K4SWL @qrper!

CQ CQ! Field Day is Almost Here! June 28–29 we fire up K1WAS, the Westport Astronomical Society's amateur radio station for the annual ARRL Field Day. It's an annual amateur radio activity organized since 1933 by the National Association for Amateur Radio in the United States. Be a part of the most popular on-the-air operating event in amateur radio. https://was-ct.org/events/k1was-field-day_2025

Notes on Field Day 2023
I wrapped up another field day with my friend Paul (W7PEZ) in Eastern Washington. For the two days, I had 204 contacts, broken out roughly as:
Yes, I worked SSB. It was kinda Frankfurt United Norway

Finally starting to feel good after Field Day. It's always such a physical drain on me and I always take off work the following Monday just to recover.
This year I bought a tent and air mattress so I could get some better rest instead of putting the passenger seat in my car all the way back and "sleeping" there. That helped a lot, but still wasn't quite enough. My problem is I haul so much stuff out there like a 13' x 13' canopy, plastic folding table, a few chairs, radios, vertical antenna and surveyors tripod to mount that on, 100' of coax, lighting (although I reduced that this year), food and drinks, etc., etc. It's quite a major effort for me. For the past several years I've tried to cut down to just the essentials, but when you're getting things together, you think everything is essential.

#fieldday2023 is this weekend! We'll be operating as 3A under our club call KC0RVS from https://goo.gl/maps/hoiyK3bF9GaM3HN4A. If you're in the area, please come out and say "Hi!". We'll put a cup of coffee in your hand and maybe a hot dog, then step aside and let you make a few contacts if you want. Especially if you're a CW operator!

Still looking for an antenna for your #FieldDay or #POTA station? Why not give a try to an End-Fed Half Wave #EFHW #antenna? Simple to build, easy to deploy. https://youtu.be/YwffN-qZzhY #hamradio #hamr #arrlfieldday #fieldday2023 #2023FieldDay
