Plans for field day?

Just realized that today is field day. Gonna go out and see what the local hams are up to. Anyone else have plans?

  • Wouldn't have know it was today without seeing your post. Guess I still have a few hours to get some work done first. Not that I have any (edit: long range) gear, but it might be fun to see who's on the local repeater this afternoon.

  • Test posting from my sopuli.xyz account to see if it makes it to your instance. I tried posting about 4 hours ago from lemmy.world and nothing seems to have happened. This instance (ko4abp) shows up in the lemmy.world federated instances, and vica versa, and I can see this community, but my post from Lemmy-world never made is here and the subscription button just says "Pending" anyway, feel free to ignore if this makes it through.

    edit: fascinating. it took less than a minute for this to be live on ko4abp.com and it propagated to my lemmy.world instance. Sorry for using your thread as a test bin. :-)

  • Going to a local park with my buddy tomorrow for some ham radio shenanigans. Mostly just want to test out some antennas with making contacts as a secondary goal. I’ll be 1B-CO.

    • Yeah, I'm not huge into the making as many contacts as possible part of the hobby. Right now my focus is actually getting it to work...
