Sent: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 14:03:20 -0500 Subject: [n4n_field_day] Mark Your Calendars--Field Day 2004! 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.
