At ~0900 the SEC then sends a 'deployment text command' to the team leader to deploy to their predetermined and coordinated location and set up operations.  The more teams we have the better.  This is not a contest.  Just an opportunity to get on the air and play radio.

I will have a plan of stimulations to do during the deployment as well as some fun things to do.  It's a little like Field Day with out the hassle of a contest forum, detailed reporting and scheduling operators.
