QRP Field of Dreams

 A video by Kevin, K0KLB - thanks, Kevin!

We still have corn farms in New Jersey - but NOT Like this. Holy cow! I found the drone footage to be spectacularly breathtaking!

And now, if I may take the liberty of re-interpreting one of my most favorite parts of the movie. (As a baseball fan, Field of Dreams is my all time favorite movie!) I'm no Terrance Mann, but .........

Kevin, signals will come, Kevin.

They'll come to Iowa via groundwave and skywave. From their aerials and antennas, they'll turn up in your receiver via the magic of radio.

"You're 5 X 9 in Iowa, you'll say. Thanks for the QSO and 73!"

And they'll put you in their logs, happy as a newly licensed Ham after making their first contact,  glad to have worked you.

Amateur Radio is part of America's history, Kevin. It has marked the times. Time and time again, radio signals have turned strangers into friends, have helped save lives, and Hams have helped to push the boundaries of new levels of technology.

These signals.....CW, SSB ......they remind us of how good Amateur Radio is and continues to be.

Oooooh, signals will come Kevin, signals will most definitely come!
