Either one of you two going to do 'Field Day' this year?

I may try to do something on 10m, or try to join up with the local university's club if they do something. Or I may just go to the range and try for a few contacts on the drive out there...I wonder how Tac Pro would feel about a wire antenna draped off the sniper training tower...hmmm...darn, they've got a sniper tournament going that day...nevermind. :???:

Guess we share a couple of interests - which one gets the most of your time?
These days, it's mostly shooting. SWMBO (KD5OUY) and I are sharing a car, and I haven't quite persuaded her to let me set up the dual-bander that still works in it yet. The landlord says I can put up an antenna, but my best ones are at the back bottom corner of the storage locker, so I haven't even had my 10m rig fired up in a while.

Since I work deep nights, I'm usually too tired to take advantage of the early morning openings, (if it weren't for a wireless connection,laptop and a recliner I wouldn't be on here right now) and I'm busy getting ready for work in the evening.

If I can get her to go to the good range more often, maybe she'll want the mobile gear in the car, since our cell phones get no signal whatsoever out there :grin: OTOH, she still thinks a $15 range fee is too high :roll: (guess I shouldn't show her the ammo receipts)

Sounds similar to my problem with the factory grips on my 1911. Hogues bulked it up enough to get my natural finger position where it needed to be.

FWIW, I put three somewhat rushed shots in the groin (well, it would still have given me a good chance at running away :shock: ) of the silhouette from 7 yards when I qualified, then made a much better showing from 15, so don't feel bad if you don't make a ragged hole. It's all pass/fail now anyway.
