Dear 20 Meter SSB Enthusiasts;

I have just been informed by someone nice enough to
read the rules carefully that my two radio switching
system is...100% AGAINST the rules of field day - so
there will only be one radio at my operating position!

The (unrelated) good news, however, is that we can
work all the DX we want - and DX contacts count for
JUST AS MANY POINTS as local USA/Field Day contacts! 
The key to completing a valid DX contact is to make
sure the DX reports to you that they are (probably) 1
Delta, DX.  We may have to coach the DX through this
exchange.  This means that at about 2:00am, if the
rate drops, we can swing the beam to Europe and catch
the EU sunrise.

Looking forward to setup tomorrow!

73,

Jim WX3B
