[FieldDay] OKAY PROBABLY A VERY STUPID QUESTION

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 14:02:59 -0700

While in Illinois and mobile, your report is 1C-IL.  Once you cross the
state line to IN, you will be 1C-IN.

According to the Field Day package (on ARRL's site in PDF):

One of the FAQ questions:
Q:  I will be driving on vacation during Field Day and going thru several
sections.  What section do I give in my exchange?
A:  Give the section in which you are currently located.

When filling out the report sheet, list all of the sections you were in and
that should suffice.

I was wondering the same on crossing the state line.  Another, probably dumb
question, but I'm going to work different bands.  I'm assuming that a 1
transmitter station can work different bands and that working the same
station on two different bands counts as two different QSOs, right?

The more complicated question I have is related to classification.  I'll be
using a car but probably not driving, more Rover.  Some of the time I'll be
using the mobile antenna attached to the car, but some time (some bands)
will be using an antenna tossed up into a tree or up a portable mast.  Does
this change me from 1C in some way?
