2021 was my first ARRL Field Day. I set up in the greenbelt in Village Park. There was a table for my gear and some nearby trees to string up my antenna. I used a 40m dipole and a multi band Wolf River vertical coil. Using a battery and transmitting at 100W, I was able to hear most of the Western US but was only to make contacts in California and Nevada. Looks like I need to work on transmitting more.

Jaya finally graduated with a degree in Chemistry from UCSD. Graduation ceremonies were restricted so we didn't go. One kid down, one left to go!
Sporting clays at Raahauges in Corona. They have a great set of stations. Worth the drive!

Awesome Father's Day weekend as my parents made their first trip to California since moving to Tucson.
Spent Saturday at the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum with my dad and my son. AGSEM is a great place and I am glad they are back in action.
