I decided I didn’t want to put an under dash/seat radio or drill holes in my car. I decided to use a cheap handheld radio with ear piece and lapel mic, coupled to a mag mount whip antenna with the coax cable fed through the door frame gasket. It worked great, but I had to…

There is a Nebraska Radio Operators Discord server, courtesy of Nic KC0UJC. Discord, for those who are unaware, is a more modern version of a forum or message board, essentially.

Another great video by NØSPC. A different approach to Winter Field Day for folks who don’t have access to off-road transportation. Check out the extras and outtakes after the video. Thanks Jared!

We were provided plenty of pizza, drinks and snacks by the staff. Thanks Bill and Jacqueline for your hospitality. I hear Jacqueline…
