[Corkradioclub] Fwd: Fielday

[Timothy McKnight]

Hi Jeremy,

My genny is 7kVA so it should handle an amp plus several caravans so long
is we're careful with the kettles, heaters and TVs.  There is one 32A plug
and two 16A plugs on it so we may need to split the 32A line.  So far, the
following have said on the reflector that they are coming:  5GM, 9FBB, 7JO
(Sat only) and me.  That means very few CW ops for the 24 hours but I think
a few more will be coming--hope they will let us know soon for planning.

I'm not sure how to do an IARU entry--or even that there is a difference
from an IRTS entry.  Please let me know if I need to do that.  As I said
before, I've registered with Thos as Restricted.

Tim
