Field Day Needs

Hey gang,
?
In putting together some notes for a Field Day planning net, I'm gathering a list of things we need.? Rather than try to work it all out during the net, I'm hoping to identify some solutions beforehand.? I'm assuming that many of you folks will take on the same things you did last year (Robin on satellite, Dave R. on VHF/UHF, Roger on digital, etc)--my thanks for you guys' support again.? However, there are a few holes where folks who took thinks on last year won't be available this year.? Can anybody help with any of the following:
  • AC generators (we have Tom's RV and KD4SHH 5KW;? need two more 3-5 KW generators)
  • Heavy gauge extension cords (10ga or larger:? I have?two 25-footers, need several more)
  • 5ft or 6ft banquet tables (we have 5 from KE4UW, need 7 or 8 more at least)
  • Laptop computers for logging (have 6, from WA2MBP, KE4UW, KN6RO, KT4XN, KD4SHH, AA4RC; need at least 4 more, maybe 6 more)
In addition to the hardware, we need folks to take on a few activities.? Note that we don't need anyone to go buy any equipment, but rather to find out who in the group has what you need, confirm it will be coming to field day, and put it all together once we get there.? The only expense is a bit of time.? So, can anyone take on:
  • AC power guru to oversee design and installation of AC power to tents (identify generators, extension cords, power strips, gas cans, etc)
  • Station captains for two?CW stations and one phone station?(we have equipment, but need folks to pick up, assemble and test equipment, bring to FD, set up)
  • Coordinator for bonus points for 5 QSOs on alternate power
  • Coordinator for bonus points for initiating message to Section Manager
  • Coordinator for bonus points for?handling 10 messages (packet?)
  • Coordinator for bonus points for?visits by elected official and/or served agency official?
I think you'll see that, all things considered, the list is pretty short.? We're in good shape in most areas.?
