Thought that thus was the weekend afterwards, since it's usually the weekend before ARRL Field Day, but not this year, apparently.      http://www.arrl.org/june-vhf

Since I did electrical training, for being an electrician, decades ago, I thought that I could always fall-back on that. Besides, what other field can you use trade terms like nipples, hickeys, and making male / female connections, without getting into trouble at work?

Now, if we can just keep Murphy's Law outta' there. Ya know... Propagation sucks on SAT and SUN, then picks-up right after that contest. And... Looking ahead to the ARRL Field Day, with all the flooding going on in the NE, might need Field Day, not as a contest, but for real emergency communications.  http://www.arrl.org/field-day
