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!?
