Hey
gang!
?
Here's an update on
headcount for key evolutions:
?
- Thursday
setup:? 4 (KE4UW-Dave, KN6RO-Roger, and WB8VTK-Eric
arriving in the morning, and WA2MBP-Bill arriving in the
afternoon)
- Friday
morning:? 11 (KE4UW-Dave, KN6RO-Roger, WB8VTK-Eric,
WA2MBP-Jim, AA4RC-Robin, AG4PR-Danny, KR4KZ-Mike, KF4TJY-Shane, KE4ENI-John,
N8EKA-Vester, WB4SQ-Gary)
- Friday afternoon
(antenna setup): 12 (Friday morning group, joined by
WK4U-Tim)
- Saturday
morning:? 13? (KE4UW-Dave, KN6RO-Roger,
WB8VTK-Eric, WA2MBP-Jim, AA4RC-Robin, WK4U-Tim, KG4IUL-Nancy, KR4KZ-Mike,
KF4RPQ-Al, KE4ENI-John, N8EKA-Vester, WB4SQ-Gary,
KD4SHH-Dave)
- Others coming
Saturday late or Sunday:? 3 (WO0LY-Tim, KF4JVD-Jeff,
N1KDO-Jeff)
- Coming, but I haven't heard when:?
6? N4LIX-Ginger, WB4LUQ-Bill, Mike Hall, Mike Blackwell,
Chad Graham, Russ (PARC)
- Sunday
teardown:? 12? KE4UW-Dave, WB8VTK-Eric,
KN6RO-Roger, WA2MBP-Jim, WK4U-Tim, KD4SHH-Dave, N8EKA-Vester, KF4RPQ-Al,
KG4IUL-Nancy, AG4PR-Danny, WO0LY-Tim, KF4TJY-Shane
- Undecided, may come:?
6? AF4MP, N4NBL, KE4WIO, KG4VTY, W5BJV,
KF4BUT
Total number of
people involved (not including undecideds):?
22
?
Biggest shortage is
in CW operators.? We have WA2MBP and WK4U as ringers, and Gary WB2SQ and
Roger KN6RO have been practicing up.? I'm not sure of callsigns, but I
believe one or two of the PARC folks are CW operators as well.? If you know
a CW operator who might be interested, by all means invite them!? Heck,
kidnap them if necessary!? :-)
?
Compared to last
year, we're short a few folks for Thursday setup.? We could use another
hand or two, but we should be able to make do with what we have.? On
Friday, we have one or two more than last year for the crunch time of noon to
dusk, but we'll be trying to put up a few more antennas as well.? Again, we
could use some more help, but we've made a priority list for antennas (20m and
40m CW and phone first, others as time allows), and we should be able to come
close to raising all 8 beams.? On Sunday, we have about the same number of
folks as last year.? Again, we could probably make do, but we can always
use more help for teardown when everyone is tired and hungry and anxiously
awaiting a hot shower.
?
So, there you have
it.? We're OK on the numbers of people, but could still use a few hands,
especially with setup and teardown.
?
Think
FD!

Planning Net on 147.105
With a little less than three
weeks to go, it’s time to start the last minute rush for field day
planning.? Face to face meetings
are a challenge, but we found out last year that we can accomplish most of
what we need via a 2 meter net/chat. ?So, let’s plan on meeting on the
147.105 repeater (+ offset, PL 100) at 8:00pm on
Tuesday for a brief planning session. ?I’ll email an agenda tomorrow.? One of the topics will, of course, be
a discussion of which day of the week works best for everyone for the net as
we approach the big day.? If you
can’t be on tomorrow night, let me know by email or via one of the other folks
what your preference would be, and we’ll try to make a plan that will work for
most.? If need be, I can make it
twice a week (it’s only for another 2+ weeks).

Hope to see you
there!

Hey Dave,
If it's OK with you, we'll work out a plan to pick up the generator ahead of time. I think we're going to need it.
Your call, but I expect to have room in one of the large tents if you'd prefer to be in with the commotion. Don't want the vhf/uhf ops to feel not part of the crowd.

I will bring a complete 6m station. Same as before, radio, antenna,
mast, rotor, power cords, shelter, table chairs, etc.
I do have a 5kw generator. If you need it no problem. I will not have
room to bring it in my vehicle, so I would need someone to tote it for
me. I could do the hand off of generator prior to the event. I would
also need some one to store it after the field day until I return from

8x8 shelter

Do you also have a generator? I think we might need it if you do. (I'll

Sounds simple, but we need to make the call, as there are some important preparation activities that can't be done right until these decisions are made (antenna measurements/marking, matching rotors/cable to antennas, etc).
If you have any equipment that you plan to have available for field day, please let me know (or come by on Saturday) so we can fine-tune "the plan". We're particularly interested in lining up generators, HF antennas, towers/tower parts, rotors, rotor cables, tables, and tents. I'll put together a summary of what we're aware of so far and put it in the files section of the yahoo page and bring some copies to the gathering.
Hope to see you there!

Re: Planning meeting Saturday
Moss, Dave J \(INPO\)
Great! See ya there.
By the way, if you have any of the following that can be available for
FD, we are in need: generator, heavy duty (10ga or better) AC power
cords, banquet tables, folding chairs for operators (normal metal
folding chairs work fine, the chairs-in-a-bag get very uncomfortable for
operators), larger tents (either for radios or for sleeping). We're not
desperate, so I wouldn't go buy anything, but we can add some
conveniences if we gather enough of the right things.
Do you know of any other contesters who might be interested? We should
have about 20-25 folks available at the site at any time during the
contest, with another 6-8 drop-ins or maybe's. That should give us
plenty to keep up to 4 phone stations and one digital station going full
time, plus GOTA, VHF/UHF, and satellite. Only three of that number are
CW ops, so we could really use some help there if you know any ringers.
:-) Looks like we'll have about 10 folks for Friday setup, and maybe 10
more for Saturday morning, so we should be able to set up enough to
support as many as we have operators for.
Think FD!
Dave

Hey gang,
We have only five weeks before the big day! Uh oh, we may be a bit
behind on some of the detailed planning, so we plan to have a
planning
meeting at Hemmingway's on the square in Marietta this Saturday at
4:00pm.
We need to make some decisions on how big of an operation we'll shoot
for (6A like last year? 8A? shrink a bit?), and as part of that
decision, which radios we want to use, which antennas we want to set
up,
and where we'll put each station and antenna. Sounds simple, but we
need to make the call, as there are some important preparation
activities that can't be done right until these decisions are made
(antenna measurements/marking, matching rotors/cable to antennas,
etc).

day,
please let me know (or come by on Saturday) so we can fine-tune "the
