pa3gvr writes "This weekend many Amateur Radio operators (HAMs) throughout the US and Canada will take their equipment to public parks, campgrounds and Emergency Operation Centers. With all the coverage that BPL has gotten lately it might be interesting to see what this Amateur Radio thing actually is. Field Day is setup as an exercise for HAMs to test their readiness and ability to operate under less than ideal (emergency) conditions. Besides the training and exercise aspect, this is also a social event. Visitors are welcome to have a look and maybe even operate some of the equipment. K4FAU, Florida Atlantic University ARC and Boca Raton ARC will be setting up their Field Day station on the Boca Raton, FL FAU campus."

There's a Canadian election coming up. Who to vote for? I decided to let some friends help my decision, and I figured everyone here should have a chance as well. Everyone is always telling me not voting is stupid, and that I should 'at least vote for [x]', so here it is, put your money where your mouth is - let's keep this vote from getting 'wasted', eh?
