As I go down the path of satalites and antennas, I have now realized how
much I really don't have a clue.
The things I need to learn about are :
1) Yagis -- how they work beyond the normal parts and basic point and
listen.
2) satalites and orbits and solar winds and solar interference

This year's theme for Field Day is Emergency Communications.

"Alternative" communications.

to use it.
