[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Field day dry run/field ops practice

[Joe K]

I’ll be running either a TS-50 or an Icom 730 for digital modes fyi, so field grade is a very loose definition.

I'm waiting on some 18560s to arrive but I wanted to stoke the coals on this idea. Is there anyone else who'd be interested in a day where we all meet up at a random spot, conduct a site survey, practice launching some line, setting up hasty/improvised antennas, and comparing power options, maybe taking some readings off solar setups? Burke Lake Park isn't far and has a lot of open area as well as some nice wooded areas to setup sites. I've done it on top of parking garages throughout NoVA as well with interesting results. Feel free to reply here or on the discord as well.
