FD vote
ne4s
Hi gang,
I voted for "go for it" although I cannot be here to participate.\ Joan and I will head for CO early May next year. Perhaps we can get a catchy call like K0W, N0T, or N0N and fire up from CO. I think we/you have a momentum going, and next year may be the time to go for broke. If you have the gear, get the people. Get more 6 cw ops and you will kill them. Jim, Tim, and I did a pretty good job on CW, but 3 to 8 more would insure that you keep the brass pounding on all the open bands at the same time as Phone is cranking. All level of CW skills can play.... Great job last year, big kudos to the organizers. By the way, South East Contest Club is looking for more members. Those who do any level of contesting is encouraged to join and pariticipate in what may is the best club in the area for contest and event activity. I mention this because even casual contest participation can be contributed to a "club" score, and all are welcome. Folks who are semi-serious about Field Day may also want to check SECC out. See: and find the membership page. And.... Best of Holiday wishes to all, Mike, And Joan, NE4S, K9EGA 73 |

This time last year we set the goals for FD2003, and we decided to shoot for 3000 QSOs and 10,000 points--a target that, based on last year's scores would have gotten us just into the top 50. We met our QSO and point goals--in fact beat them by 10% or so. I guess scores are down a bit overall (I'm sure having 10 and 15 meters dead as a tire iron had a lot to do with that), but it's nice to see that we made it to the top 20, not just the top 50! Number 3 in the 6A class, and Number 1 in Georgia! Wow! Not bad for an effort that started the Friday before FD 2001 with three people, one little tent, a beam Roger bought that day, and whatever we could find to pack in the truck that Friday afternoon. A fun time and a respectable effort--969 QSOs and all but two sections worked. We learned a lot that year--useful things like we're getting too old for all-nighters. And the effort grew. FD 2002 was a bit better. Added two more beams and a dozen more people, plus a Taj Majal RV for headquarters. What a difference! Lots of gear, lots of people (15 now), lots of fun, and 1484 QSOs. Still missed two sections, but this time it was Yukon and Newfoundland instead of Yukon and North Dakota. We made WAS in a weekend! Not bad. We added digital for the first time, a VHF/UHF station, and a GOTA station. We even started adding up some bonus points. We learned better ways to mount and raise the beams (mostly by OJT). Wow, if we had only done some planning. . . and had a few more folks, and a few more radios, and a little bit more of everything! And the effort grew. FD 2003 added a PLAN (novel idea!), a couple big tents, another RV, more beams, more generators, more operators (a crowd of 25), a serious CW effort, and our first ever satellite station! 3309 QSOs! Wow, this planning stuff really works! Now we're running with the big dogs, and we hadn't really planned to be there quite yet! Guess it's time to be thinking about what we want to do in 2004. We're not really limited much by availability of equipment--we have enough radios and beams to go to 9A and still have a beam for everything on 6/10/15/20. Only real question is how big of an effort do we want to stage? Should be shrink this back to 4A? Stay at 6A? Grow to 8A or 9A? How about 51A? (Do you think those folks really had separate phone, CW, and digital stations on 17 bands?) Do we want to keep about the same number of folks (25 or so), or shall we add another 10 or so? Shall we continue to make this a Thursday through Sunday affair, or keep it to the weekend only? Is top 20 OK, or do we shoot for top 10? Top 5? Think about it, and sometime around Christmas we'll put our heads together and come up with a plan. In the meantime, I'm gonna take another look at the FD2003 photos on yahoo and re-live it a bit.

Mike,
You need the DLPORTIO program foe NT, 2000. WINXP does not require this I don't believe. You can go to to get this file. You should read to be sure of the requirement for WinXP though before installing on that OS. Hope you're doing well.

Stargazing!
Jim Nail
Everyone in our group had a wonderful time last evening. We saw
Mars with the South Polar white cap. I think the image I looked at was inverted (white cap at about 11:30). Anyway when Trevor asked a slew of questions about stars and space I knew he was intrigued. The best one I explained was that a telescope is really a time machine! That one really got him thinking... Thanks Nancy for the invite. New Christmas presents for looking skyward are in the works!

Talk-In for Stargazing on 23rd

Hi Everyone,
Beginning at 4 PM on Saturday, we will have a Villa Rica Observatory Talk-In on 146.52. Art Russell, KG4VTY, will have an IC-706 in his Jeep and a handheld with him. I'll also have an HT on me (KG4IUL). Once we start getting folks on site, we would appreciate it if others would help monitor the talk-in. Art is giving one of the presentations and won't be available to monitor after dusk. Thanks for your help. 73, Nancy KG4IUL |
