    "content": "Les,\n\nI hope I'm interpreting your question correctly.\n\nThe big challenge for someone trying to collect grid squares during Field\nDay is that the \"contest exchange\" for Field Day doesn't include the grid\nsquare.  Most folks will be trying to make as many contacts as possible,\nas quickly as possible, for Field Day points.\n\nMy suggestion is that you plan to participate as an AMSAT Field Day\nparticipant.  After the contest, send each of your contacts a QSL card.\nRequest that they send you a QSL in reply *with* their grid square.  This\nway you've made everyone you contact happy *and* you get a QSL with the\ngrid square you need.\n\nTo participate in Field Day, you don't have to register with either the\nARRL or with AMSAT before the contest, and you don't have to send in a\nlog.  \n\nYour Field Day exchange would probably be \"November One Lima Foxtrot, One\nDelta Alabama\", that is, your call (N1LF), your \"class\" (for example, 1D),\nand your ARRL Section (Alabama).  A class of 1D means one transmitter and\nworking from home using commercial power.\n\nYou're welcome to try SO-50 during Field Day, but it will be frustrating.\nOn any given pass, there will likely be two or three successful contacts\namong the 500-1000 hams attempting to make a contact.  (So 6 happy people\nand 994 unhappy people.)\n\nI do *strongly* encourage you to join the fun on the linear satellites\n(AO-7, FO-29, and VO-52).  *Please* make as many contacts as you can on\nthe linear birds!\n\n73, Steve N9IP\n--\nSteve Belter, [email protected]\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn 4/23/13 3:44 PM, \"Les Rayburn\" <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n>Please tolerate another newbie question.
