Field Day was a big success for me this year. I was in category "1E" which meant that I was home in the air conditioning, but doing my bit for emergency service by using a gel cell as my power source. A SOLAR CHARGED gel cell. So don't anyone call me a slacker, OK?
I was on my HW-8 and made a total of two contacts. The second was with AH6AX. I wasn't fooled -- I knew they weren't in Hawaii. But the op gave me his home call: WB8YYY. Curt is a SolderSmoke listener. In a follow-up e-mail he alerted me to the web site of AA8V. Great stuff. Thanks Curt.
Here is the AA8V workshop:

AA8V was on the QSO Today podcast not long ago.
