FDIA 2026 Update #2: Four Days in August Gets Better

FDIA 2026 is officially on the runway, and this is the second weekly update for Four Days in August: Hams Helping Hams. In this series, I’ll be sharing the latest event plans, schedule updates, activities, presenters, locations, and anything else you’ll want to know before we all roll into Huntsville for four days of playing radio, learning things, sharing what works, and supporting each other.

This isn’t meant to be another sit-in-a-chair-and-watch-PowerPoint event. FDIA is built around the idea of hams helping hams in the field, on the bench, under a pop-up canopy, around antennas, radios, projects, and practical skills. Keep an eye on these weekly updates as the event takes shape, and start making your August plans now.

Is "Calling CQ" Only Used on HF? Why? Let's Discuss...

Part of my "Hot Topics" show, I am inviting multiple folks onto the channel tonight to talk about this topic that came up during the last episode in this series. Can we call CQ on VHF/UHF? What is your reason for saying yes or no? Join the chat tonight for a good discussion.

Starlink Battery Hack - Keep it Running 24 7! #offgrid #solarpower

I ran #starlink all night and into the next day at #fieldday2026 and it performed well. Running from an external battery from @xtar_official that was connected to another battery and a 150w solar panel. This kept the Starlink running for more than 24 hours and the XTAR had 42% of battery remaining at shutdown.

Overall a great test and great results. I’m planning more testing soon. #offgrid #hamradio #starlink #solar
