FYI: I am still at zero with my SAT station to date...and withdraw all but
"Moral Support"....in the setup of a first-class SAT station for Field Day.
I'm sorry.
My intentions were to accumulate and assemble my SAT station pieces and
parts...up to the rotor controller/interface/radio (which I think Robin
already has). I wanted to use Field Day as the impetus to get everything
purchased, tested and working. But I have made zero progress to date.
As background, when I heard Robin/Pieter had voluntered to do the FD SAT
station, I thought it might be a good opportunity to get my own station
going.
Dunno what Robin's (and N4IP/Pieter's) original plan was -- maybe it's not
too late to execute and complete that?
Or, as a fallback position, we can come-up with a list of what is required,
then see what we can all pull together (minimal gear required) to work the
SATs for FD?
BTW: we should run the pass prediction program (maybe Robin already has)
and see what the passes are predicted to be for Field Day?

I'll be there. I've been in and out of town recently. The plan (in
progress) is to use John's sat setup for a station unless Mike want's
to get a head start with some of his equipment. I should have a better
feel
for the plan this weekend.

Hey gang!
We've got several things in the mill for Field Day that require some
information on who will be at the site when. We want to put together a
schedule for operators (based on requests from last year), but we also
need
to find out: (1) if we will have the critical mass we need for putting up
towers on Friday evening/Saturday morning and taking towers down on
Sunday;
(2) How many we will have on-site from about 12:00-2:00pm Saturday for the
(weather-permitting) first ever N4N kick-off barbecue; (3) How many we
will
have for dinner Saturday and lunch Sunday.
So, if you could, please let me know as soon as you can when you plan to
be
at the site. Bring along a friend, the XYL, or the kids if you'd like
(let
us know so we'll have food). Any extra help we can get for Friday evening
or Sunday afternoon would really be great!
To give you an idea of what's going on here's a basic schedule:
9:00am Thursday: Arrive at site and begin setup of RV, tents,
tables/chairs, computer network, generators and AC distribution, and
basically everything but stations and antennas (KE4UW, KN6RO, and KT4XN so
far)
Thursday evening: Relax and enjoy a cool one
Friday morning: Continue setup of camp as needed, test computer
network, etc
Friday 2:00pm: Begin assembly of antennas and towers, hang wire
antennas, setup stations, test rig/computer interfaces, etc.
Friday evening: Raise as many towers as possible (need at least 8
people to do this safely), copy ARRL bulletin, dinner at the catfish
restaurant in Hiram.
Saturday morning: Complete any station setup or tower erection, test for
interference among stations (if not done Friday), troubleshoot any
problems
Saturday noon: Picnic lunch (weather permitting), brief
indoctrination
for operators, primer on Writelog.
Saturday 2:00pm: Field Day operation begins!
Saturday evening: Pizza dinner (delivery, if possible)
Sunday 2:00 pm: Field Day operation ceases. Barbecue lunch and
gathering
of good ideas for next year.
Sunday 2:30 pm: Dissambly of antennas and towers, packing and cleanup
So, choose your activities, arrange the hall passes, and please let me
know
as soon as possible when you plan to be there. If you have preference for
bands/modes you do or don't want to operate, let me know that and we'll
accommodate those as well.
Think Field Day!
