Hi Tim and everyone,
I just got back from a long weekend at Big Bend Ranch State Park
so am only now getting to respond to this.
I would like to operate and I can provide a donation as well to
pay for the pavilion.??
I don't mind staying overnight (I will need to sleep :-) ) but I
need to come up with something that is acceptable to the park and
does not involve my sleeping in my car again :-)
Thanks and 73,
Marc

Greetings, Hambuds!

?? Winter Field Day is coming, Jan. 25 - 26, 2025.? I have
not made reservations for the Railroad Pavilion yet, and would
like to know who is interested in operating next year.?
?
?? For ARRL Field Day last June, we had only two operators
working at a time.? While it was nice to see everyone visiting
on Saturday evening, I am not sure if it's worth reserving the
pavilion for the weekend ($100 per day) for only two operators.?
Personally, I would like to have three (3) operators working at
the same time, so we need several people to commit for working
Winter Field Day. Of course, offers to help set up and take down
antennas are always welcome.
?
?? A second option is to reserve the pavilion only for
Saturday, and have everyone visit on Saturday evening or late
afternoon similar the ARRL Field Day.? We may be able to leave
our antennas up and operate on Sunday, just not reserve the
pavilion and share it with others (mostly the cricket crowd).
?
?? Another option is to not reserve the pavilion, and
everyone operate Winter Field Day from their home, and assign
the points to Hambuds.? If anyone wants to operate from the
park, that would be fine, but the club would not have the
pavilion exclusively.
?
?? Please share your thoughts, ideas, and if you are willing
to operate at the park for Winter Field Day.

Thanks, and 73,
