Tonight's topic is all about ARRL Field Day, one of the biggest events of the year in amateur radio.

Did you participate in Field Day this year? If so, we'd love to hear how you got on the air. Did you operate with a local club, set up your own portable station, operate from home, or stop by to visit another group's site?

Tell us about your experience. What equipment and antennas did you use? Did you operate HF, VHF/UHF, digital modes, or satellite? Were there any memorable contacts, interesting challenges, or lessons learned from the weekend?

If you weren't able to participate this year, we'd still love to hear your thoughts. Have you taken part in previous Field Days? Is it something you'd like to try in the future? What do you enjoy most about portable operating and emergency preparedness?

Whether you made hundreds of contacts or simply enjoyed spending time with fellow hams, Field Day is a great opportunity to sharpen operating skills, test equipment, and connect with the amateur radio community.

Join us tonight and share your Field Day experience—we look forward to hearing your stories!

Tonight's topic is the Battle of Gloucester Reenactment, one of Gloucester's most unique annual traditions that brings local history to life.

Have you ever attended the reenactment or participated as a volunteer? What did you enjoy most—the historical demonstrations, the ships, the encampments, or seeing history unfold along the waterfront?

For those who may not be familiar with the event, the Battle of Gloucester commemorates one of the first naval engagements of the American Revolution, which took place right here in Gloucester Harbor in August 1775. Each year, volunteers recreate the battle and the colonial-era atmosphere, giving visitors a chance to experience a fascinating piece of our city's history.

Whether you're a history buff, a regular attendee, or someone who's always wanted to check it out, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you learned something new from attending? Do you have a favorite memory from past reenactments? Is there another local historical event that you enjoy just as much?

Join us tonight as we celebrate Gloucester's rich maritime heritage and share our experiences with this exciting community tradition.

Tonight's topic is a tour of your ham shack! Whether you operate from a dedicated radio room, a corner of the office, the kitchen table, or even a mobile setup, we'd love to hear what's on your desk in 2026.

What radios are you currently using the most? Have you added any new equipment, antennas, hotspots, computers, test gear, or accessories over the past year? Maybe you've recently upgraded your station, built something yourself, or finally found the perfect way to organize your operating position.

Beyond the radios, what other gadgets or technology have become essential parts of your shack? Logging software, digital mode interfaces, Raspberry Pis, weather stations, scanners, network equipment, or even that coffee mug that's always within reach—all are fair game tonight.

Whether your setup is a simple handheld and charger or a room full of radios and blinking lights, join us and share what your ham shack looks like in 2026. We look forward to hearing what's on your desk and maybe picking up a few ideas for our own stations!

Tonight’s topic is all about digital voice communications in amateur radio. With so many options available today, many operators have explored modes such as Fusion, DMR, D-Star, P25, NXDN, and others.

What digital modes do you use, and which one has become your primary choice? Do you prefer using local repeaters, personal hotspots, or a combination of both? If you're active on digital voice, what room, reflector, talkgroup, or network do you find yourself connecting to most often?

For those who use multiple modes, what do you like about each one? Is it the ease of use, audio quality, available networks, local activity, or something else that keeps you coming back? If you've tried one mode and moved to another, we'd love to hear what influenced that decision.

Whether you're a seasoned digital operator or just curious about getting started, join us tonight and share your experiences, favorite networks, and tips for others interested in exploring the digital side of amateur radio.
