There will be satellite operations and various types of modes like SSB, CW, and Digital. There will be a local mesh network for coordinating logging. We also hope to have public visitors who can watch the art and science of radio come to life, and maybe even get them on the air.

Alas I will not be able to attend the Friday 6/12 meeting either in
person or online.

I do look forward to spending my waking hours at the field day site,
and trying to be helpful.
