Notes on Field Day 2023

I wrapped up another field day with my friend Paul (W7PEZ) in Eastern Washington. For the two days, I had 204 contacts, broken out roughly as: Yes, I worked SSB. It was kinda Frankfurt United Norway

WT8P is sporting the 6-day salt and pepper look

Nearly all of the issues that folks have contacted me about are a result of skipping an important step. The top three items: COM port changed when you plug the USB into a different physical socket (you will need to re-map the devices – blame Windows); audio volume management; IP address versus hostname. While I’m happy to help, please check that you haven’t skipped a step.
