Re: Field day scores
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDave -
We did the ATV demo for sure:
?
No SSTV or APRS demos, that I am aware
of...
?
FYI: Dave's SUV has "solar power", however I'm not 100%
sure we powered any radios from it.
I had a large 12V battery in my car that was for sure
charged from a solor panel, but I never actually connected it to any
radios.
It was there for backup.
?
We did make over 100 GOTA contacts and close to 100 digital
QSOs.
And 75-ish 6m QSOs, no 2M QSO that I am aware
of.

Gear redistribution
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHey gang, ? Special thanks to all the folks who hung around in the rain to load up the last of the gear.? Things got pretty mixed up at the end, and the flotsam and jetsam were piled onto Roger¡¯s trailer.? The trailer was left inside the barn at Roger¡¯s brothers house for the night.? We¡¯re rendezvousing at Roger¡¯s ²ú°ù´Ç³Ù³ó±ð°ù¡¯²õ house this evening at 6pm to find a home for everything that was left on the trailer.? Roger¡¯s brother lives off of Bob Cox road, a bit west of Barrett Parkway along 120 heading from Marietta toward Dallas. ?There is way more stuff than I can fit in my truck, and most of it isn¡¯t mine. ?I need some help picking this stuff up.? Anything you can fit in your vehicle, please plan to come by and get it at Roger¡¯s ²ú°ù´Ç³Ù³ó±ð°ù¡¯²õ.? If not, please confirm with someone else to pick it up and arrange a swap later, but we need to get it off the trailer today. ? Gary, I have your tower top, three tables, and your camera at my house. ? ? It¡¯s too rain-threatening today to unpack all the boxes to dry things out, but when I get to that, I¡¯ll let you know if I have anything else that isn¡¯t mine.? |

N4N Field Day 2005 operations....
Thanks for letting me spend a couple of hours at N4N.
Really impressive - extremely well organized and very congenial group. Would have been great to spend the weekend! Will someone post the "final" tabulation at some point? I'd like to see how my personal lil'field day (single op, single band, 5 watt Elecraft K1 on battery power to a 15 foot high sagging 20 meter dipole in the park) effort of a few hours (84 q's) compares! 73 es tnx agn -- Don N4HH BTW: Since I did operate a short time at N4N on 15 meter ssb, I know the N4N total will be one "q" short on 20 cw of what it could have been since it would have been a violation of the rules for me to also work N4N from my N4HH FD - but - I did hear you on 20 cw racking up the q's! Great going! __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone. |

>> N4N Field Day 2005 operations....
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýN4N de KE4ENI..
What a fantastic 2005 Field Day!
?
Despite the rain (Uh, did it rain this year?!) I thought
the preparation, team work and operating fun (some folks had more fun that
others) was just fantastic!
?
Here are a few picture of the 2005 N4N Field Day
operations:
?
?
I'll try and post a few more pictures over the next couple
of days.
?
(Roger, KN6RO, note the ATV demo picture...I have a few
more.)
?
BTW: Phil, N4NBL took some incredible pictures of the
Saturday night operations...I hope he will post them?for us to
see.
I think Dave, KD4SHH too a few excellent pictures too...but
I know he was busy operating most of the time.
?
Again, I had a great time, especially enjoying seeing
everyone (and meeting some new friends).
?
Most of all thanks to Dave, KE4UW!? (And
everyone?else who does so much to make N4N so?much fun.)?
?
What an event this has become!
?
Next year we shoot for "N4N 153A GA"?for
sure!
:-)

Visitor, observing, schedule
Nancy Berninger
Hi,
Sorry I've not kept up with the posts recently, but I'll be ready to work this weekend. :) I should be penciled in for the night shift again. One more for meals: Juergen (non-ham hubby) will be off on a motorcycle trip this year, but I'm bringing an extra pair of non-ham hands. Keith Burns visited last year and will be back to help this year. He'll be out for the weekend so we can put him to work and get some GOTA points. He'll bring a telescope (and solar filter) for anyone interested. 73, Nancy KG4IUL Contest Phrases Scroll down and check out "Phrases for Special Situations": |

Productive setup day today!!
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHey gang, ? KT4XN Tom, KN6RO Roger, WA2MBP Jim, WA2BCK Tom (Jim¡¯s brother¡ªand one of our ringer CW ops), and I had a good day at the site.? The RV is in and set up, the white tents for CW and Phone are up, tables and chairs in place, AC power run, lights up (don¡¯t forget to sing jingle bells when you see the lights), network cables and switches run and tested, and the computer network is up and functioning for all except the couple of computers that will arrive Friday or Saturday. ? We¡¯re heading out to the site tomorrow morning to finish up the prep, and then the real challenge starts at 2pm when we start assembling beams and towers. ?I think we¡¯ll have just enough to raise the beams, with all of the above, plus KF4TJY, KE4ENI, WB4SQ, and maybe WB8VTK.? I¡¯ve lost track of who¡¯s coming, but if we get a couple more, we can go to 30 ft towers for the 40m beams, which should help quite a bit. ? KT4XN is staying the night out at the site.? I managed to forget the tower bases, so I came back to get those and will head back in the morning. ? Things are looking good.? It will be quite a challenge to get all the beams up, but we¡¯ll give it a shot.? ? Some lessons learned today:? Bugs weren¡¯t too bad (my opinion), but ¾±³Ù¡¯²õ well worth bringing some bug repellant. ?Sunscreen is pretty much a necessity.? Got my arms a bit burnt today, so I¡¯ve got some spf 30 sunscreen in the car now if you need it.? We went through the better part of two cases of bottled water today¡ªplan on bringing some (or some other beverage of your choice) to keep hydrated in the hot Georgia summer sun! ? See y¡¯all tomorrow or Saturday!? Think FD!? Top ten or bust! ? Dave |

mapquest or something like that, look for the intersection of Hiram-Douglasville Rd (Hwy 92) and Pine Valley Rd. Coming south (or southwest) from Hiram on 92, when you get to the traffic light at Pine Valley Rd go through the light (Pine Valley Rd goes to the left only) and about 50 ft past the light the Fuller's driveway is on the right. It's the only driveway anywhere in the area. Dave -----Original Message-----

Last Minute preps
Moss, Dave J \(INPO\)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI'm heading home
from work in a couple of minutes to get things packed up for the trip out to the
site this evening.? Won't be on email much after that--maybe a quick check
late tonight, but then I'll be out at the site until Sunday.? I have a
couple of last minutes requests:
?
(1) Lets plan on
getting on the repeater at 9pm Thursday night as we have in the past, so those
who set up camp on Thursday can pass along any last minute needs to the
group.?
?
(2)? When you
come out to the site, remember to park on the pasture side of the gate, or on
the right side of the road outside the gate.? The grass area on the left
side of the road has a septic tank under a thin layer of dirt and parking there
could be a rather sh**y experience.
?
(3) Guess what might
go wrong and bring what it takes to fix it.? We've made incredible use of
these little contingencies over the years!? SO-239 bullets, 80m dipoles,
4:1 baluns, etc.? Who'd have ever figured. . .
?
(4) Bring a friend
if you can.? That's part of what field day is about.? Non-licensed
folks can operate the GOTA station (that's what IT is for), and we can always
use an extra set of hands for setup and teardown.
?
(5)?Lots will
go wrong in the next 48 hours, but we have?backup plans for most, and can
get by without the rest.? I'm feeling pretty good about it!??I
think we'll rock and roll this year!
?
See ya there!?
Think FD!
