So for field day, what stations were you operating? Did you get a chance to get around to the different various radios and do HF and what not? Yes, sir. We had two antennas set up. It was for 20 and 40 meters, and we actually got it into 17 meters also on the same antenna. And we were doing some digital, some FT-8 and some other digital formats. And that was my first experience with digital, so that was interesting. We also did voice, you know, with the regular SSB, but had a lot more luck once we figured out what we were doing with the FT-8. So we were getting contacts from all over the world. It was pretty interesting. So like I say, I learned a lot and it was fun and these folks were very helpful in teaching myself. And all this, even though I have my extra license, I haven't had a lot of practical experience.
