Winter Field Day report (Blazing Saddles edition)

[wayne burdick]

The "winter" weather in California over the weekend was embarrassingly mild. Even balmy. It'll likely go down as the hottest January on record, as last year's did, and the one before that, etc., making this hardly the place to mount a credible WFD effort. Worse, a heavy slate of honey-dos reduced my on-air time to just a couple of hours. So I band-hopped and logged a dozen or so QSOs on SSB and CW. It was a bit like summer Field Day squeezed into less spectral real-estate.

Surely some of you have more exciting reports.... Polar Vortex, plague, locusts? Grog that wouldn't thaw? Tongue stuck to icy telescoping whip?

73,
Wayne

Hey Wayne - I thought you might be sharing a chili n beans recipe with that
subject line! If you ever need more of a WFD challenge, the Sierra Nevada
is here for you. :D 73 jeff wk6i

You took all our heat sub zero with bad wind chill and a load of snow.  More typical wi term in north WI.
