Hi all,
My field day activity will be restricted to that of a home station (QG62LG51) on 6/2/70 SSB and FM for probably at least a few hours Saturday afternoon, maybe into early evening.
FT8 was a possibility for digital contacts on 6/2/70 but the Division 2 rules expressly require 6 character grid exchanges - which the WSJT-X software can't routinely do on that mode - but which is acceptable/possible for Division 1 entries - where now-a-days I normally enter only Div2. Not planning to operate the other WSJT-X modes eg FSK441, JT4, JT65, MAP65, PSK31, RTTY.
Microwave activity this time around is simply not happening.
The forecast temps of 6-23C for the Saturday for my area aren't particularly conducive either - even if not as bad as down south..
Good luck (and weather) to all participants.
