The Ham Who Slept Through Field Day

For a moment last week I considered tracking down the local Field Day operation, which turned out to be the HOTARC effort in Hewitt Park a couple of miles from my QTH. Then I stepped outside into the 109° heat and quickly reassessed my priorities. My desire to avoid heat stroke narrowly outweighed any urge to shout "Six Bravo North Texas" into a mic for extended periods. I decided then to operate 1D from the home station, at least help out the true believers by handing out a few QSO points.

Instead, I took a nap. Maybe next year...
