In just two weeks. In case you're wondering what this is all about, it's an excuse for people to go out into the winter wonderland of the last weekend of January and play radio. Here's the Winter Field Day Association's web site, and here's an informative podcast that'll tell you all about what some guys are going to do up north of I-10 where it snows and and sometimes even other forms of frozen water fall out of the sky. (I hear that they have different names for all the types, but I wouldn't know much about that.)
So what am I planning on doing? Can't really say at the moment. Depending on people and weather, this could turn one of several ways. About all I can guarantee is that it will involve either an FT-857d or an FT-817nd for the radio. That, and the damned pack is going to be a good deal lighter than last year's.
In the meantime, you can catch up on the frozen fun, RF burns, and general mayhem at the above-mentioned web site a podcast, or at this blog's recap of WFD-17.
