Hi folks,

First and foremost, the Club Field Day web page can be found here:



http://k8bxq.org/fieldday



Field Day 2019 is 23 days out and it's time to start thinking about club
participation.  We will be setting up at the Roth Family Woodlot in
Tedrow/Wauseon again this year, and since we usually only run the 24 hour
period, we can begin setup after 8:00pm on Thursday, June 20.  Remember the
event starts on Saturday, June 22 at 2:00pm.



If you are bringing your rig and are planning on running the full 24 hour
contest, let us know what bands and modes you are capable of running
(remember your license class restrictions, you can only run where you are
licensed for).  If you have a laptop for running the logging software
please bring it along, along with your rig and antenna system.  Make sure
to bring plenty of power extension cords to tie into the generator, as well
as plenty of antenna feed line so we are not setting up on top of each
other.



On the note of laptops, we run a networked logging software which aids
immensely in filing the report with the ARRL, as well as keeping track of
who is running on the allowed bands and modes.  This software will work
with Mac, Windows, and Linux.



Please keep in mind we run 100 watts or less to stay in our category.
If you are not planning on running the full length of contest, please
note that in your reply.  Consider sharing antenna/rig space with
another participant that might also want to only run part of the time.
Remember

that we are restricted to only three simultaneous modes on each band:
CW, Digital, and Phone.  All bands are open except 12, 17, 30, and 60.



If this is your first time running Field Day, or if you have been
doing this for years, please take the time to read through the contest
rules here:
