We're trying to get a decent head count for who will be at the site, and when. Best way to help is to complete the poll on the yahoo group--so we can see if you plan to be there Friday after work, all day Friday, etc. So far, we only have four folks committed for Friday setup. Hopefully we'll get 4 or 5 more so we have enough to raise the beams. Dave KE4UW -----Original Message-----

Tuesday Planning Net for FD
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHow about Tuesday 9pm for the Field Day planning net?? Nobody responding to the poll on the yahoo group indicated a preference for Monday over Tuesday, so I propose we go with Tuesday, 9pm as we did last year. ? Poll results show 2m is the best bet, so let¡¯s plan on 147.105, + offset, PL 107.2 for the net. ? Hope to see you there!? ? Dave KE4UW |

Re: Repeater Operation
Tim Lemmon
Jim.
The 147.105 repeater has a PLUS (+) offset and a PL tone of 107.2 hz. You must set your HT to ENcode this PL tone. Optionally, you can set your HT to DEcode this PL as well. Since there really isn't any close repeater on the same frequency, I would just set it up to ENcode 107.2 PL only. -Tim __________ --- Jim Nail <james.nail@...> wrote: I need some help with setting up the VX5-R for the __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

N1MM Files
Jim Nail
Hello. If anyone would like to install the N1MM Logging programs
they're on the files section of this Yahoo Group. This SW is Free, but it does take about an hour to setup properly (not including MMTTY for RTTY support). Read the Install Document First. You will have to go to to download the N1MM.ZIP file since it will not fit (over the 5MB limit) on the Yahoo Groups site. Every other file necessary is posted in our group. These files are: N1MM Install Document (Read This First) NewexeV5.0.98.zip (Latest Progam Update) N1MMLoggerHelp.chm (N1MM Windows Help File) port95nt.exe (Configures Parallel ports for keying) wl_cty.dat (Latest Country File) MASUSVE.DTA (Master US/VE callsign database for duping) MMTTY165D.zip (RTTY Files) RTTY Support.doc (RTTY Setup and Operation Document) There is a separate yahoo group just for N1MM. Go to www.n1mm.com for more information. Enjoy 73 de WA2MBP |
Repeater Operation
Jim Nail
I need some help with setting up the VX5-R for the 147.105 repeater
(WB4RTH). I'm very 2m illiterate, so I guess someone to explain what's necessary. I think I have a handle on the VX5-R configuration/navigation. Transmit/receive frequencies, offset tones, etc, would be helpful. Thanks for the education. Jim WA2MBP |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýALDI has a KingCraft 4-cycle 2500W AC generator for $200 while they last, at their Conyers, Duluth, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Kennesay, L¡¯ville, Lithonia, Mableton, Marietta, Smyrna, and Stockbridge stores starting 5/31. It also has an 8.3A DC output (but probably not simultaneously). Not super-hefty, but a cheap addition to your ARES jump-kit or for powering a couple of Field Day rigs. ?

It's time to start finalizing some plans.??Among the priorities is getting a decent head count for how many folks we will have for setup and teardown, as well as operators during the?contest.? If you haven't already, please take a minute to complete the polls on the yahoo group to help us get a head count.? We'll be missing a couple of regulars this year due to family commitments, but we'll gain back a couple who couldn't participate last year.? Looks like we should have about the same size crew, only without the folks from PARC who helped us quite a bit last year with setup and teardown?(as well?as?a few hundred QSOs).? Any help with Friday setup and Sunday teardown will really be appreciated. ? Keep an eye on the yahoo?group at ?, as that is the primary means of sharing fast-breaking news.? Expect lots of activity for the next month.? ? From preliminary responses in April, it looks like we should have 15 or so folks: ¡¤????????

K9MUG (Darrell), K4SB (Ed), W2DNO (Stan).? If you know any of these folks, please encourage them to join the yahoo group and get involved! ¡¤???????? Still haven't heard from some former participants or others on the yahoo group who have expressed interest in the past:? KE4WIO-Tom, N4NBL-Phil, N8EKA-Vester, KG4VTY-Art.? Again, if you?chat with?any of these folks, please encourage them to join in. ¡¤???????? Biggest needs are CW ops, and a couple of digital/RTTY ops Good news from Eric--he has confirmed availability of the site at the Fuller's farm in Hiram, GA (Paulding County) that we have used for the past four Field Day operations.? Setup should be similar to what we've had the past?few years: ¡¤???????? Tom Crowley KT4XN will have his motor home at the site with a few amenities to make life a bit better (like indoor plumbing).? Thanks Tom. ¡¤???????? We'll have the two white 20ft x 10ft tents for operating positions, one for phone, one for SSB ¡¤???????? We'll also have the 20ft x 12ft screen tent and the awning on the RV to provide shade and weather protection, and we can use them for more operating positions if we have enough operators to grow a bit ¡¤???????? We'll have a few tents for sleeping (bring a cot or air mattress!) ¡¤???????? We should have 150W radios for 3 phone stations (TS-950, FT-1000, TS-480HX) and one CW station (IC-775).? Other stations will have 100W radios (TS-850, TS-2000's, TS-480SAT, FT-920, IC-765).? Looking good with the rigs.? ¡¤???????? We have lots of beams and Rohn 25, and can support:? Disc 7-2, TA-33, and 15-3BA on phone; TA-33 and 40m yagi on CW; A3 on digital/GOTA.? We also have an Explorer-14 (w/40m), DB-10-15, 10-4CD and others if we need them.? We have 7 or 8 rotors available (Ham 2, 3, 4) plus some TV rotators.? Looking good with antennas, towers,?rotors.? ¡¤???????? We don't have a firm handle yet on who has generators available--if you have one that we can use, please let us know.? The arrangement last year of having one generator dedicated to (and a short extension cord run to) each operating tent worked well.? We'll need two or three generators.? KD4SHH?? WB8VTK? Depending on how many folks we have for setup, looks like we should plan on setting up: ¡¤???????? 3 stations on HF phone--40m, 20m, 15/80m ¡¤???????? 2 stations on HF CW--40m,?15/20/80m ¡¤???????? 1 station on HF digital--10-40m ¡¤????????

GOTA station (share antennas with digital) This would have us raising 6 towers (40m, 20m, 15m phone; 40m and tribander on CW; tribander on digital), plus the satellite and VHF stations.? Based on past experience, this will take a minimum of 9 folks who can be available 2pm till dusk on Friday and 8am till noon on Saturday.?
