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

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

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.

Re: [Elecraft] Winter Field Day this weekend -- brief introduction

You missed some fun last year, the low was ~0F at K9CU's site in Urbana. During 
setup it was in the upper teens with a 10 mph wind, which taught us just how 
stiff the cold can make coax and fingers. My friend managed to get a dipole 
into a tree but I settled for a small vertical clamped to the roof rack of my 
Forester. I worked from the back seat with my KX3 and a tablet on a lap desk, 
occasionally running the engine to get some heat into the car.

Tomorrow the forecast is for a balmy 32 with only an inch of snow.

As a refugee from Chicago, I can state with certainty that there is no 
such thing as "winter" in the Bay Area. What happens here from Dec to 
Mar would be described in the Midwest as "early summer."
