I'll be selling 'beer for buns' at Music Midtown...

This Saturday several folks will be out at the site to cut the grass
in
the pasture where we will be setting up, and to trim some trees to
facilitate getting the RV in. It's a great opportunity to take a
look
at the site, help plan the layout, meet some of the folks, and even
pitch in and help a bit. :-) It should take only a couple hours if
we
get a few more folks who can help.

Tom KT4XN, Roger KN6RO, Jim WA2MBP, and Tim WK4U are planning to be
there. Contact one of them for a rendezvous if needed. Directions
to
the site are available in the files section of the yahoo group web
page.
Eric WB8VTK said he has confirmed with the Fuller's that we're good
to
go for the site prep and the operation itself.

I'll be in Boston through Wednesday, so I'll miss out. (Darn the
luck!)
I can be out at the site the following weekend (June 18) if anything
doesn't get done this Saturday.

May I request you drop it off here at my house ASAP?

No, for that you'd have to come to my house in Gwinnett county and pick it up....

Sure wish I was gonna be there to play with that rig
this year. I've heard so many good things about
K2's!!!

It's no FT-1000MP, but it's a lot of rig in a small package.

I have one I'll bring.

(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.

I have several chairs in a bag with ARMRESTS - does that help? I
think there are three packed in the trailer. I can also bring one
Samsonite folding chair.

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

I have one that is 25 feet long I'll bring.

Hello Bill.

Gosh, that K2/100 might be a great CW rig for Field
Day, but we have to PRE-test it before letting you use
it.

May I request you drop it off here at my house ASAP?
I'll give it a good test for the next couple of weeks
and let you know if it's okay to use for Field Day or
not.

He he he . . .

Sure wish I was gonna be there to play with that rig
this year. I've heard so many good things about
K2's!!!

Cheers;

-Tim, WK4U

Yes, I plan to tow the trailer out to that neck of
the woods on
Friday after work. So, I'm afraid I'll miss much of
the setup Friday,
but I'll be there overnight and ready to start
Saturday morning with
any last-minute work.

Just leave me a space for a 21 foot travel trailer.
We can set up the
rig on the dinette, and I can bring a K2/100,
antenna tuner, windows
laptop, Mac laptop (for RTTY / PSK), 1600 watt
generator and a 37 gal
tank full of fresh water.

I can operate whereever you like. Whatever you need
most.

Sounds great, Bill. We'll keep a place for you close to the CW tent.
As luck would have it, that's near the gate, so we can easily avoid
blocking access to it.

Think FD!

Instead of the 2.2 KW Generator, I can get the 6.8KW Generator, which would run the AC continuous if we wanted. It's available for the asking, so I'll ask!!

So long as it has a 30 amp plug, that will work. The AC draws about 18 amps on startup of the compressor. I can use an adaptor for the common 15 amp plug, but these can get awfully warm.... I have a 15-20 foot 30 amp extension, and I can also bring a 25 foot 12-2 extension (which can handle 20 amps max) -- but it would have to use the 15 amp adapter.

I'm bringing a Honda eu2000i generator, which can do 2000 watts peak for 30 minutes, or 1600 watts continuously. That will easily run a rig, lights, fans for a couple of stations, and it gets pretty good economy out of a tank of gas (up to 15 hours on 1.1 gallons)

No specific plans for lunch yet--still waiting on a head count [hint,
hint] ;-)

. . . But we'll make it something of the SYOG variety. (Squirt your own
goop)

At least in my case, no goop (mustard, mayonaise, etc... nothing that
comes out of a container as a GOOOOPPPP!, or onions, pickles.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE complete the poll on the yahoo group to let us
know
your plans. We're still trying to get a head count for who will be
at
the Field Day site, and when, so we can make some realistic plans.
We
need to know how many folks plan to be at the site Friday for setup
(only four in the poll so far--not enough to raise beams--but I'm
sure
more have said they plan to be there Friday), Saturday morning for
setup, Saturday for lunch (so Margaret will know how much food to
bring), for operating (so we know how many stations we need and so we
can put together a schedule for operators), and for teardown (so we
have
a head count for lunch again, and so we don't set up more than we can
tear down).

So, there are lots of things that can't be planned until after YOU
indicate when you plan to be at the site! So please, take a minute
to
complete the poll--I swear, if it takes more than one minute then
your
mouse is broken.

(Thanks to WA2MBP, KN6RO, KG4IUL, WK4U, WB4SQ, KD4SHH, and KE4UW for
responding to the poll already)

Welcome to Bill AA4LR, another new member of the N4N gang! Bill can do phone, CW, or digital, and is bringing a trailer we could use for one of the CW stations (up to you CW guys).

I also talked to Phil N4NBL today and he's going to join us Saturday, and wants to operate digital. Good match--we need some digital folks too.

Think Field Day! Top 10 or bust!

The plan in past years has been to meet for breakfast, be out there by
8:30 or so, and be done by 11:00 or so, before it gets too awfully hot.

Nothing magic about that--just worked for the folks involved.

Dave

Dave.

I haven't confirmed this with Lori. (She's asleep
right now), but that morning should work for me. I
assume it will be in the morning???

I'll follow up with her tomorrow on that and get back
with you. Ohhh, you won't be there - he he. Who is
determining the TIME for this shindig? Location for
BBQ (important!) etc...

Hey gang,

At a planning meeting a couple weeks ago, we
discussed options for the
site prep (grass cutting, tree trimming for RV
access), and it seemed
like the best bet was on Saturday, June 11. Tom
KT4XN indicated he
would be available, along with his lawn tractor to
do the grass cutting.
Can any others help out with the site prep? Tree
trimming should be
fairly easy (compared to 2003), as there won't be
any 6-inch diameter
limbs to cut. Only two years' growth--so much
easier.

The bad news is that I have to be in Boston
Saturday-Wednesday, so I
won't be around to help. Can we get a critical mass
of folks to help
Tom out?

A couple of things to ponder:

(1) If we don't get this done this weekend, Tom is
not available the
following weekend. So if we move to June 18 we'll
need someone else to
step up with the grass.

(2) If we don't get this done the next two
weekends, we will either
have to set up in tall grass/weeds (not really an
option), or wedge this
into the Friday setup time (also not really an
option if we are going to
set up antennas for 9 stations).

So, hopefully we can get three or four more folks to
help out Saturday
June 11. Should take only a couple hours.
