Field Note #001: Establishing the Signal

Welcome to Mike's Field Notes. Today, I'm officially establishing the signal for a new digital journal dedicated to technical insight and visual observation.

What it is...

This is the start of a project where I bring you along for the ride. It's a chance to share my experience, my knowledge, and my adventures. This isn't designed to be polished; it's going to be raw and unscripted at times. Think of this as a direct data feed from the field to your inbox.

What I want to share...

I enjoy many different things. This project is focused primarily on my hobbies and my interests, explored through a technical lens:

• Weather & Meteorology: Technical breakdowns of atmospheric events using high-res satellite imagery and local station data.

• Amateur Radio (KC0EVP): Field reports from mobile ops, signal propagation analysis, and "shack" updates from the FT-950.

• Water & Outdoors: 4k perspectives from the trails and shores of Minnesota.

• The Build: Insights into the tech behind the scenes, from C# data tools to the cinema gear used to capture these reports.

Sometimes this will be a story. Sometimes it will be more of a how-to. You may also be subject to just beautiful scenery.

This is the first of what I hope is many. Thanks for coming along.
