A couple of others have expressed interest at times, but I haven’t heard anything firm recently.? So if you’re interested, let us know.?
We’ll have single-band wire antennas for 10m-80m, and a 6m yagi if we have critical mass to raise it.? We can adjust the number of transmitters based on availability of operators/radios.?

What about 6M?? Free VHF station...
I worked a bunch of stations on 6M FT8 from FN34 last year on FD.? Wire antenna.
?
As of now, we have 6 folks in for Field Day:? AE4TQ Eddie, KB4SLV John,
KE4QFB Larry,
KE4UW Dave, N1KDO Jeff, and WB4SQ Gary.? Gary is also bringing a neighbor who can operate as a GOTA operator (John can also operate GOTA as well).
We have 3 or 4 radios
committed:? Eddie’s IC-7300, Larry’s FTDX-10, my TS-590, and
maybe Jeff’s K3.?
We can decide FD weekend if we want to operate as 3A or 4A.? We have the option to use all
four radios and be
3A if one radio is used only for GOTA and/or 6m.
The TS-590 will be set up for CW, digital, or phone.? The IC-7300 and K3 for digital, and the FTDX-10 for phone.? I have a TS-2000 for a spare, but it’s good for phone or CW only.??
Barring some
unforeseen solar snafu, we should have access to 10/15/20/40 during the day, so we can keep four radios busy.?
At night we should have 80 and 40, and 20/15 until the wee hours when we won’t have four operators left awake anyway.
?? The goal is to have enough radios to keep everybody who wants to operate operating enough to make it fun.? Take time to cool off in the pool, shoot
the breeze a bit, or watch others to learn something new.? Maybe a couple other folks will come by and operate a little bit—use that time to take a break.
Here are some opportunities for bonus points:
·??????
300-400 points for? Emergency Power:? We will have a Honda EU2000 generator and a couple of solar panels.? One station may run full time on solar.
·??????
100 points for Message to Section Manager:? I’ll try WINLINK
again, maybe on HF this time.?
·??????
100 points for Message Handling:? Again, I’ll try winlink.? I’ll have 10 messages ready to send.
·??????
100 points for Satellite QSO:? I’ve got it this year.? (Thanks to all the help from Eddie)
·??????
100 points for Alternate Power:? We will be able to make at least 5 QSOs on solar
charged battery power
·??????
100 points for Copying the ARRL Bulleting:?
Eddie will have FLDIGI ready to copy the bulletin on CW and Digital.? Probably Eric too.?
·??????
100 points for Educational Activity:? Eric will treat us to an educational activity via zoom.?
·??????
100 points for GOTA coach:? Gary will be the GOTA coach and is bringing one GOTA operator.? We may have other GOTA ops.?
No limit to GOTA QSO’s per operator
·??????
5 points per QSO for GOTA operation, any mode, and no power multiplier:? Could be a big deal.? Maybe some GOTA digital too??
200 QSOs would add 1000 points.? Our total score last year was 3600.
·??????
50 points for Web Score Submission:? I’ve? got it.?
·??????
100 points for Social Media:? For promoting
N4N Field Day on Facebook, etc. I’m sure you computer savvy folks can do that.?
·??????
100 points for Safety Officer:? Having a designated Safety Officer using the Safety Check List to keep us all safe.?
Need a volunteer.?
So if we do
4A, that’s? 1350 points plus whatever we get from GOTA (assuming WINLINK cooperates, otherwise 1150).?
Menu TBD, but I’ll make arrangements for lunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on
Sunday.?
Bring you bathing suit and a towel.? We can cool off in the pool
from time to time.? No glass bottles in the pool, but cans or plastic cups/mugs are OK.?
If you want to spend Saturday night here FD weekend, that’s fine.? In the (air conditioned, carpeted) basement
there is sofa and a cot.?
I also have an air mattress and, if the WX is nice, a hammock.?
I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few things, so more to follow.? If you have any questions, let me know.?

Gents,
Would like to get together on Saturday, June 15 (the weekend before FD) to get the laptops we’ll use for FD set up with the latest versions of N1MM and WSJT-X and set up and test rig interface, networking, Seems like every year there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out, and it’s best to figure it out early enough that we can get anything else we may need before FD weekend.? How about 1:30 or so (and maybe a lunch gathering before).
Eddie and I can make it.? How about Jeff?? Larry?? Others are welcome as well if you want to test drive the software.
Generally it takes an hour or two, except for those wrinkles.? ?? The pool will be warm and the beer cold, so hang out a bit if you’d like.
Also, mark your calendar for FD setup on Friday, June 21.? I’ll take care of getting the wire antennas up, and other folks can get all the radios and computers playing together nicely.? If we start around 9:30 we can take a break around 1:00 for some lunch, and should have everything done by supper time.? Depending on how we feel, we can order some carry out for dinner, or go grab a bit somewhere.? Ultimate goal is to have everything working and ready to copy ARRL CW and digital bulletins Friday evening.
