@jsonstein Fantastic! I hope you give us all a report and some snapshots.
The only advice I'll offer is this-no matter how many people show up, do it again. And then again. It builds. People will get hooked.
One of my clubs is having a group SOTA thing tomorrow; listen for us under our club call of AA6CV. I'd love a SOTA-to-micro QSO!

New blog post at http://www.theborednet.net about how µField Day has been growing, plus details of our August 27th event.
I'm looking at a lot of alternate sites, since it's become so much larger than I ever imagined it might. But if people need an excuse to take their radios out of the house and play portable, I'm only too happy to keep giving them one. 👍

Surprising turnout for µField Day today, 7 stations and 30 people from 5 different clubs. Met a few that will be starting CVARC's Technician License class next week...more hams!
We had one brief heavy shower, but surprisingly pleasant conditions after a wicked storm.
Random Metal Objects On The Air...RMOOTA...@ai6yr did it again, using an 80's floor lamp on 6M and 15M.
There's an article and photos at www.theborednet.net

Quick morning walkaround, surprisingly little effects from those winds. Lots of downed trees around, but none on my street. We did end up with 4.25" rain for the day. Hell of a storm.
Today looks like it's going to be surprisingly pleasant, light breezes and a few showers-good weather for µField Day after all!

The BORED Net has gone live with our new website at:
http:\\www.theborednet.net
Don't look for fancy graphics, just basic information about our daily net, weekly swap net, monthly mobile ops µField Day, and annual Silent Key picnic.
Everything we do is "club agnostic" and open to all hams in Ventura County and anyone else who finds themselves in the area.

Exciting times for #TheBOREDNet ahead...I just acquired the domain theborednet.net (no website yet, don't worry if you don't see anything), and I'm working on hosting and a site. We've been relying on Google Docs for our weekly swap net, and it's just become too ungainly.
I'll also be able to post photos and details of future µField Day events as well. I never expected µFD to become what it has, but it has, so let's roll with it :)
