Hi David, My name is Jim Blanca - KE8G, and I am an "import" from Ohio for Field Day. As Nizar says, please ask questions, that is the best way to learn. If you don't understand something, never be afraid to ask for a through explanation. Most folks are very happy to share their knowledge (sometimes too much so) so it's there for the picking.
I've been a ham now for 40 years and love it more every day as time passes. I'd be happy to answer any question(s) for you! I hope to see you at set-up, a very important and interesting time, as there is much to learn about setting up a multi-op station, with all the antennas and the resulting interference to each other. We normally begin Friday afternoon, and finish up Saturday morning before the actual "contest" starts. 73 de Jim - KE8G On Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 2:04 PM NIzar Mullani via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > David, > > I am just a messenger getting the word out about FD.
