Re: Field Day GOTA Station

? Hi Don,
I think the premise for this year's GOTA station is to allow for first-time operators or individuals who don't feel confident working the club station to have another alternative. This will operate under my callsign (KJ7SS) and class (1B MT).?
We'll use my station as more of a 'radio fundamentals' station, talking about the radio itself, antennas, propagation, etc. while saving the club station for more of the traditional Field Day operations.
Let me know if you have any questions,

Don't have the schedule in front of me but someone mentioned a
GOTA Station.
I doubt we'd qualify for that:
?4.1.1. Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) Station. Any Class A (or F) entry
whose transmitter classification is
two or more transmitters may also operate one additional station
without changing its base entry category,
known as the GET-ON-THE-AIR (GOTA) station.?
4.1.1.2. The GOTA station may be operated by any person licensed
since the previous year¡¯s Field
Day, regardless of license class. It may also be operated by a
generally inactive licensee.?
It sure would be nice to justify? a? 2A operation but it doesn't
look like it from the schedule.
We used to do that but just not enough operators any more.?? ;-(
