Field Day

[W3RSW]

Police the area means just that. " Clean it up," whether man, beast or trash. Goes way back, not just in military settings. Ask any horse.  

Well I just spent y'day until 10:00p local with the Stonewall Jackson ARC, K8DF on Lowndes Hill, 4A, Clarksburg, WV.
Steve's beer was in abundance, rain showers fairly often, actually got cool around 57 deg. F, had to drop the tent flaps.  Pulled pork, beans, slaw, potato salad, etc. in abundance.  Yeah, there was
some operating, but no AM

I actually got on 40M in the AM section and started calling "CQ FD" and had 3 stations turn their mode switches to AM and gave them, and me, a FD contact, even though I wasnt offically doing it...  Just to make some noise besides SSB.

.....However, pulling all-nighters in tents and campers with a bunch of old guys like myself somehow doesn't appeal to me. And when I was much younger and better able to pull all-nighters, I still didn't choose to do it with other geeks like myself 

Those are right up there with Grocho Marx... "I resign. I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member"
