Hi, Hambuds!
?
?? ARRL Field Day is just over a month away, June 28-29.? We have the Railroad Pavilion at the Southwest Regional Park reserved for the weekend.? Up to two (2) RVs are allowed.? Feel free to bring you own or rented.
?
?? It's time to sign up.? We need several people to bring complete stations - radio(s), antenna(s), coax, batteries, laptops, etc, and other people to come out and operate for an hour or two.? I will be bringing one station.? Most people who have operated in the past have used battery(ies) to power their radios, and I expect we will do the same this year.? Our logging laptops can be powered from the electrical grid.? Therefore, I don't think we need any generators.? If anyone has networking equipment and/or a second laptop for our main logging database, please bring them.? We will be using the N3FJP ARRL Field Day contest logging software.? Please intall the latest version on you laptop.
?
?? The Hambuds will not be providing any food as a club, so plan on bringing your own water, drinks and snacks.
?
?? We need someone to volunteer to be a Safety Officer for the event.? The duties are listed on the ARRL Field Day web site.? I'll post the Field Day rules in a later post.
?
?? We appreciate any and all to come out Saturday morning after breakfast to help us set up antennas and stations.? Also, people helping take down everything on Sunday afternoon is appreciated as well.
?
Thanks, and have a good weekend!
