Title: Winter Field Day 2023 AAR by WK4DS
Post by: WK4DS on February 01, 2023, 10:35:30 AM
Well ,I learned a few things about winter field day that I didn't know... like the exchange is different from the summer one... the IC 705 performed flawlessly though even with all my mistakes.
We operated as the local club callsign K4SOD for WFD and this write up is my after action report.

Hey Dave,

WFD was much more active this year, I think.  Our club, K4BW, set up at local Emergency Operations Center.  The most disappointing aspect (but it was a lot of fun!) was the multiplier scheme.  Why can't they use the same concept of multipliers --- states or ARRL sections ... but they have this weird thing, modes per band ... it's just ... weird.  Hopefully they will change that to be more normal.
