Many of us will be laboring with our clubs and groups or even solo to participate in Field Day this weekend. I wish you all the best of weather, freedom from insect pests, and delectable grub! Don't want until Field Day to operate portable, though -- you can give it a try any time as the members of the Adventure Radio Society (http://arsqrp.com) know well. If Field Day gets you thinking about operation from the wild, give the ARS Flight of the Bumblebees contest a try at the end of July!
