[HCARC] Field Day Help Needed

[Bill Tynan]

I have:
100 ft of LMR-400 that we used last year.
IC-706 which we can use on 6 meters (If something better doesn't show up 
such as the IC-746 that Jim Linley brought the last few years.)
A rotator
An extendable pole, but it's very heavy and more than I want handle.
Other stuff but I don't have time to enumerate right now. (I leave for 
Dayton in the morning.)

I do not have a 2 meter beam, but I don't see much use in including 2 
meters, especially at the location we have this year.

We might think about getting the extra 100 pts with a satellite contact. 
I'll consider that.

73,

Bill, W3XO
