µField Day, March 19th 2023 was another rainy affair, this time back at Rancho Potrero. The Pt. Mugu Airshow was going on at the same time, so we were treated to the USAF Thunderbirds and USN Blue Angels peeking up over the local hills, and lots of rumbly rumbly jet noise.
Ben Ai6YR’s 15m Torchiers lamp turns out to work pretty well on 12m as well. Seven HF stations set up, which was pretty good given the rain. It was an extremely pleasant day, even if it did start getting stormy later in the afternoon.
The regular operators are showing something we’ve said all along…operating portable HF doesn’t have to be complex or expensive or exotic. Your regular gear from home works exactly the same way in a park.
Be sure to see photos of the day in the Gallery.
