Although not everyone can participate in Field Day this weekend, this puzzle will make you feel as if you had. You’ll wind up tired and worn out? No! You’ll be invigorated with the excellent job you’ve done on behalf of ham radio, of course! Even if you can’t join the fun in person, take time out to hand out a few QSOs from home (1D category) and listen to the sounds of full bands and happy hams.
