[FCARC] Field Day 2015 Roll Call

[Craig Szczublewski]

Hi folks, here is another Field Day update.

Setup/Prep:

As indicated in the club meeting notes,  setup can happen anytime after 8:00pm 
Thursday evening.  Most of us running in the contest will probably be out after 
5:00pm on Friday to start slinging antennas and figuring out station placement.  
Our goal is to have all of the antennas in the air Friday night, so Saturday can 
be focused on station setup, shelter arrangement, power hookups, etc. It would 
be great to have all stations ready to go at 2:00pm on Saturday.

Bryan (KB8ELG) will be arranging to pick up one of the county generators from 
Swanton, and we thank the county EM coordinators for granting us use of the 
equipment.

Remember to bring plenty of antenna feed line, extra extension cables, 
multi-outlet strips, and marking/caution tape.  Think about where you will be 
setting up, or who you might be sharing table space with.  The sun does get 
pretty brutal Saturday afternoon/evening, so consider a shelter or EZ-Up, along 
with a fan to keep cool.  You might also want to have a water-tight tote or 
container to quickly move equipment to in the event of rain.

Saturday Night Dinner:

We will have our traditional Ham dinner Saturday night.  Bryan (KB8ELG) we be 
supplying the ham, so bring a dish to pass.  Also don't forget utensils, plates, 
napkins for yourself.  Many of the participants will usually have extra to 
share, but it does not hurt to be prepared.

Participants (that I know of):

Bryan - KB8ELG (Club Station/GOTA control point operator)
Andy - KE8RU (CW/Phone, any available band)
Trenton - KD8WVO (Phone 15m)

That's all I have for now.  Further updates as events warrant....
