[ADXA] St. Paul on 30M SF/H

[Dennis Schaefer]

The only thing that might get me that excited would be if I  broke through
on 80 CW on one of the early days.  That’s why the rule is “pee first, then
go to the rig”.

One year at Field Day, I was pulling the midnight to wee hours shift.  I
was on 40M CW, sitting on a frequency and running a decent rate for FD.
The graveyard shift requires a lot of coffee and I’m no slacker when it
comes to coffee.  My Thermos was about empty, and I needed to pee.  There
was a tree near the tent and everyone else was asleep, but I was not going
to give up my run frequency.  It was a close thing, but eventually two CQ’s
in a row got no reply and I made a quick relief trip.  I’m not sure what
happened after that, but I probably squeezed in somewhere on the band and
started running again until my FD CW station partner WA5BDU showed up to
take over.

73,
Dennis/RZ
