[FARC] ARRL Field Day 2013 - FARC - Frederick Local

[Curtis Campbell]

Field Day 2013 is nearly upon us.  22 JUNE - 23 JUNE are the dates this
year.

We will be holding this years Field Day activities in the (parking lot)
or near the Front Entrance to the Guilford Drive Walmart.

This year we are opting for visability, vs total contacts.  Although
contacts are important, educating the public on who we are and what we
do is more important.  We will be staffing the setup for the complete 24
hour period, so if you've never been to a field day, or are an old pro
at them, we could use you.  Even only a few hours available, sign up and
stop on by.

We have a few volunteers already, but will need to have at least two
folks there for the duration.  We'll not be hard to spot as we are
bringing the comm trailer, and that will enable quick setup of the
vertical antennas, as well as a possible anchor point for the long wire.

Power will be generated from our small generator, and logging should be
set up for network mode to avoid dupes.

Restroom facilities, and the ability to purchase snacks and drinks at
WalMart.

Banners and Club information will be up.

It will need to be covered from Noon on the 22nd till about 4PM on the
23rd.  So we need those that can do a shift to speak up and let us know
when you can be there.  We are aiming for numbers this time.  Even if
you can only do a few hours, that will provide breaks to those running
the longer shifts.  You can email me @  kb3whx at kb3whx.com
<mailto:kb3whx at kb3whx.com?Subject=Field_Day_Prep> and I'll start up a
shift and coverage sheet for the event.  I will be running early on 22
June to pick up the trailer, and get it to where it's going.

Lets make this the public event it should be, and get the word out about
what we do.  Education is a wonderful thing.
