The June 2009 event wasn’t my first Field Day. Several years ago the members of the St Charles Amateur Radio Club invited me out to their site. I accepted and spent several hours wandering around taking pictures, poking my nose into tents, and tripping over things. Since I didn’t do anything, I counted that as Field Day 0.1. A few years later I was invited to and attended the Jefferson County Amateur Radio Club’s Field Day event. And since I didn’t do anything there, either, I figured that was number 0.2.
