[Elecraft] KX3/KX2 remote for FD

[K8TE]

Let's see Bob.  Where are the results posted?  In the Contest section of the
ARRL web site.

How are they listed?  By category and total score.

Who manages FD?  Those who manage ARRL contests?

Are there rules like a contest?  Yes.

Do groups compete against other groups?  Yes.

Is there more to FD than making QSO's?  Yes, somebody told me there was
while I was searching through the results database.

Is saying "Please copy." OK?  Not if you want to make a lot of contacts.

Is FD a great, wonderful, fun way to learn about contesting?  Yes!

Are the words "Not a contest." spoken in jest?  Yes, a large percentage of
the time.

Is it fun to win a category?  Oh yeah!

Is it fun to come in 4th overall?  Oh baby it is!

Is it great to have all Elecraft gear at FD?  No, it's a necessity to do
well if you have more than one rig.  I have been (unwillingly) to the Dark
Side and prefer the ability to have three rigs on the same band, two of them
on SSB, and not experience interference until moving to within 10 kHz.

Will I miss competing with a group of friends?  I certainly will!

Will I still do FD?  Is there anything else to do the fourth weekend of
June?

Will many individuals do it differently than last year?  I hope so!  Follow
your State's Department of Health orders and stay healthy.  This pandemic is
real.  It is not a contest that anyone should take stupid, unsafe steps to
play.  The listings are sad and we are nowhere close to beating this thing!

And please stop whining about the spirit of FD.  We're in the middle of a
pandemic and you're worried about people making too many contacts or
operating differently.  Stay within FD rules, get on-the-air somehow, and
make as many contacts as you can.  If really necessary, enjoy some good food
and drink, but not in mass gatherings however your State/County/City defines
them.  Stay healthy!  HamVention 2021 is around the corner.  Hopefully, I'll
have my K4 before then.

73, Bill, K8TE
