During our planning net tonight, we identified only a few things that we still need for Field day:

?

(1)? A couple of 4-port or 5-port network switches for the computer network

(2)? Folding banquet tables for operating positions (KE4UW has 5, Gary WB4SQ has 2, Tim WK4U has 1). ?We need at least four, preferable six more.?

Will bring on 4x4 table and 4 chairs

(3)? Sheets of plywood about 4’ x 4’ (or thereabouts) to use as sound baffles for the generators

Got this covered.

(4)? Folding metal chairs, or any other chair that would be comfortable for operating.? Trust me, the “chairs-in-a-bag” are NOT what we need—great for relaxing, terrible for operating.

(5)? Heavy gauge (10 ga or larger) extension cords to run power from the generators to the operating tents.

We also still need a few folks to help with setup on Friday at 2pm.? We have KE4ENI, KE4UW, KN6RO, KT4XN, W5BJV, WA2MBP, and WB4SQ who plan to be there.? That’s not quite enough to raise any beams safely, much less the seven or eight we are trying to get up.? We really need another four or five folks minimum.
