I think you'll like the band captain for the VHF/UHF setup. Real nice
guy!

Hey gang,
Time to mark your calendars! Once again, we plan to activate special
event station N4N for Field Day 2004! The operation will be from the
same site, a wonderful spot on a 200 acre farm in Paulding County with
wide open pastures for towers and beams, surrounded by tall trees just
right for the wire antennas! This year's event will, as always, be the
fourth full weekend in June--June 26-27th.
Last year we added a couple more beams, and some serious-business CW
operators, and we topped 3300 contacts with a 6A operation! We had a
ton of fun, and wound up number 20 overall, third in the Southeast, and
Number 1 in Georgia! This year, the plan is to grow a bit and shoot
for top 5 overall.
We have several more yagis, rotors, tower parts, and radios, so we've
got enough equipment lined up to grow the effort to 8A, with four
stations on HF phone, 3 stations on HF CW, and one HF digital station.
We'll also be set up for the Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) station, satellite
station, and VHF/UHF station. Like last year, we'll operate in the
150W category, with computer logging using Writelog with networked
computers. Camp setup will begin on Thursday, and antenna/station
setup will begin 2:00pm Friday. If the propagation gods smile on 10
and 15 meters, we should be able to make 4500 QSOs!
The most important need is for operators--YOU! We can add or delete
stations to get a good match between operators and stations (maybe one
station for every two full-time operators), but before we can make the
fine-tuning adjustments to the plan, we need a pretty good idea how
many folks are interested. So, please let me know what your current
plans are for this year's Field Day:
1. I'm in! Sign me up as a full-time participant.
2. I'm interested and will be there part time, but not the whole
weekend.
3. I probably won't participate, but I'd like to see the email traffic
and may join in later.
4. I won't be making it this year.
We're still cruising the hamfest boneyards for a few odds and ends to
fine-tune the setup. If you are interested in participating and have
any of the following that could be available to the group for field
day, please let me know so we can put our pennies where they count the
most:
Rohn 25 flat or hinged base
Rohn 25 top section (we use 20 or 30 foot towers)
Bandpass filters for HF (so we don't interfere with each other)
Vertical antenna that covers 80m (possible use on CW)
Coax cable-especially long pieces
Folding tables (like banquet tables) and comfortable portable chairs
for operators
Tents/shelters large enough and strong enough to house operating
positions (we have the 10x20 white tent from last year and new 12x14
screen tent, plus the RV)
Comfortable portable chairs for operators
Also, if you know of any others who may be interested in participating,
invite them to join the yahoo group, or let me know and I'll be glad to
add them to the email list.
Think Field Day!
Dave KE4UW
