[FCARC] Field Day

[Shane Klingler]

I will be there operating 15m (SSB, FT4 and FT8). I don't have a band pass
filter. I will need power and have a 100' 12awg extension cord.  I'll be
using a 40-10 EFHW antenna and have a 75' piece of coax. I can be there
Friday night to help set up and plan to arrive Saturday before start time
and can operate the duration of the event.  This will be my first time
operating at Field Day, so I'm open to all words of wisdom.
