What is it about, Field Day? Why do we all go nuts for it? Lets face it, there are probably as many answers to these questions as there are hams. No matter what part of ham radio you enjoy the most, Field Day is the one time of the year we all get together and enjoy each other, operating, the elements, and us. The most popular activity on the Amateur Radio calendar, will find tens of thousands of hams on the air from thousands of temporary locations throughout the US and Canada, sharpening their operating and technical skills. Perhaps the way Field Day prepares us for emergency conditions is by putting us through so many “emergencies” that by the time a real one rolls around, we automatically know just what to do. Field Day is after all, a do –it – yourself exercise. A lot of ops use this weekend as an excuse to trot out their latest homebrew gear and put it through its paces. Some folks think of Field Day as a family affair. It is true that for many clubs, this is the event of the year. It’s the one time everyone seems to get together, if only for a picnic and some casual operating. A lot of groups have this down to a fine art. Why not try to learn their secrets and make them work for you! Of course, the trick to a successful Field Day is teamwork. For everything to work, we all have to work together. No matter which approach your operation takes, however, you can’t ignore the bottom line; you can’t have a Field Day without making Field Day contacts. Before listing the results of this years Field Day let me thank Michael Piccini KF2FK and his wife Nancy KC2VGG for conducting a great Field Day. For all who didn’t have the opportunity to attend, you certainly missed out on lots of fun and great food. Special mention to the following for their contribution : Michael Gabriele KC2UJU, Nicole Mancuso KC2BHV, Ed Toste WY5O, Steve Hunt N2IYR, Ed Hysyk KC2FYK and Jerry Peppers W8JPP. And all those who donate equipment, operated and helped set up and take down the equipment.
