Re: Winter Field Day this weekend

[Steve Hall]

Wayne's message about winter field day reminds me of my first winter field
day, in southern California.  It was about 78 degrees in the park with a
large group.  I got to play with my first Elecraft rig, a K3.  I was sold.
I immediately sold my marginal FTdx1200 and got a K3, KPA500, KAT500 and
P3.

I worked several stations this afternoon during Winter Field Day.   I
found several precisely on 7.175 MHz on LSB.   In checking calls, I
found several with a General Class license and one with a Technician
class license.   The point being, the LSB modulation was out of the band
for their license class.    OOPS!

And of course I noted several others on the band that seemed to
understand and follow the technique of "all knobs fully to the right"
for the event.   In one case, the station as displayed on my P3 had
about as much modulation on the USB as the LSB, complete with lip
smacks, nasal noise, and breath inhale sounds. Pitiful.

...I even heard one '10-4.'

But I'll admit he was wall-to-wall and tree-top tall ;)
