is the problem with logging in due to site under construction?
Hello George,
There isn’t any reason to log into the site as there are no active user elements available beyond what’s open through the menus.

I don’t see anything on the website about the nationwide ARES/Red Cross EmComm Simulation exercise on November 14. Will the Section not be participating again?

The Field Day clock should show negative time so I can input the correct space-time coordinates for my trip back to FD 2023. I just need to fill up the Mr. Fusion and I’ll be off.
Thank you for catching that this wasn’t reset for 2024.

What is the “Meta” section on this web page for?
Hello Gary,
I’m unclear to question. Can you clarify on where and what is being referred to?
Right hand panel at the bottom. Just below “Categories”.
Hello Gary,
Meta boxes are handy, flexible, modular edit screen elements that can be used to collect information related to the post being edited. Your custom meta box will be on the same screen as all the other post related information; so a clear relationship is established. This is contained within the site and has nothing to do with “Meta” the company.

Is this page being updated? I see Monte is still shown as SM and the Field Day clock isn’t counting down to FD 2025.
