The good folks that manage the Winter Field Day program, have made some changes that make the contest more appealing to folks that are remaining home, or in their backyards this year due to the pandemic. With that in mind, I plan on participating as 1H RI. The contest begins this Saturday Jan 30 at 2 PM EST and ends on Sunday at 2 PM.
The contest gave me an excuse to dust off my satellite gear which has been dormant since March of 2020. Not much after I hooked up the antennas, computer and rig, I had passes for CAS-4A, CAS-4B, and RS-44, and was able to make contacts on all of them. Amazingly enough, the LotW confirmations came through in minutes too.
Nice to be back on the birds — now to figure out any new ones to try.
