Hello All,
I am disappointed to say that Jan and I will not be at Winter Field Day on Saturday. I have been infected by a nasty bug which has knocked me down more effectively than if I went a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson. I waited until noon today (Wednesday) to make the call about coming to WFD or not. Regrettably the bug is hanging on and I am still very sick. I also have no voice above a gravely Baritone whisper, so not much use on phone.
The trajectory of this infection is such that I know I will not be well by Saturday. Further on that point I may still be contagious. I will not be popular if I showed up sniffling, blowing a coughing. So Typhoid Marvin will stay home. If I can manage to stay upright on Saturday I may join David operating from home.
I have a list of potential Winlink contacts, will do JS8Call and potentially PSK?? Digital modes are great when you can't actually talk.
I had planned to bring my truck mounted portable mast and my Chameleon 10-80 EFHW. Obviously someone will have to bring another antenna to replace it.
Jan will log me into the net tonight and do the talking for both of us.
Sorry about all this - I wish I could be there but I can't.
