[HCARC] Field Day Set-up Schedule

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Fred,

That's first on the list for next year - great burma shave sign!!!  You must have seen one or two in your life.  Now we need to get ARRL to do an article on HCARC's Burma Shave Field Days.

I believe if you can't have fun doing something, it's not worth doing.  Life is too short.

    I just spoke to Jeff Lavender and the first part of set-up for Field day can begin at 7 PM on Thursday.  In all likelihood Thursday evening will be prepositioning things like the antenna trailer, etc so as to be ready to set up on Friday Morning and decisions on which/what antennas to use and where to put them.  If you have input, please show up and participate in the planning.  I wouldn't leave anything overnight that cannot be walked off with easily.  The area at OLH is a safe place, BUT in this economy almost anything is fair game for thieves.

    This years only "Burma Shave Banner" is going up this evening on the fence by OLH.  It's about 8 feet long and 3 1/2 feet high and is white with red lettering.  After making it I have significant additional respect for people in the sign making business.  It says:

    Radios Are Ready
    Antennas Are Up
    Try A Ham Radio
    At Our Field Day Event
    Burma Shave  22-23 June

    Another one or two by next year I hope.  Something like:

    Cell Phone Broken?
    Need To Talk?
    Try A Ham Radio
    At Our Field Day Event
    Burma Shave

    Other ideas gladly accepted - credit given for authorship.

    Anyone who would like to learn to use the CRICUT lettering machine please speak up.
