brrrrr cold! so of course it's Winter Field Day

Don't worry, we will *not* be outside for operations tomorrow and Sunday. I don't envy the folks doing antenna setup, though... :P

If anyone so inclined and with suitable gear happens to hear W9JZ on the ham bands this weekend, that's us!

For reference, it is bitterly, horribly, frakkingly cold in this region of the States right now. As in, probably -20 or worse C, and that's air temperature. I won't even try to convert wind chill; I'll only make a hash of it. I really do need to find, or preferably learn, a reliable method of degree scale conversion. Anybody know one?

Over the years I've memorized a *lot* of conversion factors to make figuring things out easier.

One of the oddest is that a US gallon is legally defined as 231 cubic inches.
