A Secret Little Adventure Ham Radio Blog
[Thanks to Julie and Greg KC1NRJ for the pictures and idea for the gif!] I am having trouble writing about this year’s ARRL Field Day, i.e., the annual Super Bowl of ham radio. You know why? I really just don’t feel like sharing it with you. Unusual for me, huh? I feel rather measured in …
