[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Join in the Fun for Field Day Low Hanging Fruit: ks&kt Stations

[Don (KI4D)]

Attached it the list of FM18ks and FM18kt ARC Club Stations.  At the start
of Field Day, because of proximity, we plan to work these two grids, hoping
to get as much as 66 contacts (11 freqs/modes X 6 stations) per club
station, as a minimum. And this is just the listed "club stations."  All
others are welcome to join us, as well.  Listen in on the club repeater,
146.315 MHz, PL 107.2, to keep track of what is happening.  We will probably
have net control stations to direct traffic because of the number of
stations involved.  We will probably start at the lowest band and work
upwards covering all bands.  This will work like some ham nets that take
turns allowing each station to work as many stations as they can hear. That
is they allow one station to all at once work as many stations as it can
hear, and then the next station is allowed to work as many as it can hear,
and on and on.  Working each station will involve the Field Day exchange of
station class and section, e.g., "1D, Virginia."  The net concludes on a
given frequency when everyone has worked everyone they can hear.  Then we
will move on to the next frequency/mode.  We could easily bag a thousand
points and more with this technique and robust participation.  

 

Again, all who can hear our grids are invited  join in the fun.  And we hope
that other "club station" grids can take advantage of this low-hanging fruit
technique as well.  

 

In carefully reviewing ARRL Field Day 2020 rules, my view is that techniques
like these are in keeping with ARRL guidance for Field Day 2020.
