For those of us on the road w/o a handie talkie OR a repeater nearby.
Echolink works very well on cell phones and I routinely listen and participate in DODROPIN (Alaska Morning Net, Friendship Net and others)
This link is very informative and current

There was a webinar yesterday that I missed (traveling) but the above link gives you the broad strokes
I know T-mobile is advertising high speed (and it does exist in Paris at $50/month on a month to month basis with their hardware
AND a 5G tower close. Near Piggly Wiggly I got 250 MBs easily .

The ARRL PR Committee wants to help you publicized your Field Day
JUNE 10, 2023 BY DAN KB6NU LEAVE A COMMENT

Field Day is just two weeks away. So, if you haven’t already done so, get your PR machine in gear. To help you do that, here’s a message from the ARRL’s PR Committee….Dan

Hello,

The ARRL Public Relations Committee is excited to share a video with helpful tips for maximizing Field Day PR and Publicity. With a few weeks left before Field Day, there’s a great opportunity to garner attention, press, and social exposure for your club’s event.

The video is available via this link as an unlisted upload on our ARRLHQ YouTube channel. In it, you’ll learn some best practices that have worked well in other ham clubs. The ARRL Field Day
web page has a lot of resources you might find helpful, as well.

ARRL is planning a livestream from W1AW, The Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station, on Field Day to help generate excitement and social traction during the event. Look for more information on that soon.

As always, we are grateful for your support in the effort to advance amateur radio! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if any of us at HQ may be of service.

Keep up the great work!

73,
Sierra Harrop
