Weird Winter Field Day Chores: Melting Down The Loose Ends (& The KX1Q 2025 WFD Gear Checklist!)

Packing up for Winter Field Day was a piece of cake this round, so I spent the last hour burning the frayed ends of the many odd pieces of paracord I have collected over these last six years of portable ham radio. I can barely think of a better way to entertain myself while waiting for my field day laptop to trudge through six months of updates. Of course that probably has more to do with the sixty minutes of inhaling burning plastic than anything else. Now if I can just get these two computers to talk nicely with each other, we’ll be all set for Winter Field Day 2025! Hope to hear y’all on the air! And if you are curious, our equipment checklist is below.

Enjoy!
