Our school, K6GBM, will be operating field day too. The rig will be  
the K2-100, with a tuner feeding either a 100' inverted-V doublet or  
40' vertical. Power is PV panels and battery. We will be single- 
operator, assisted with the kids doing almost all the operating.  
(Dale, K6PJV, and I want to get a few contacts in.) The antennas were  
chosen to allow kids to build them.

See you on the air!
