[HCARC] Field Day Antennas

[Kerry Sandstrom]

Gary,

You may only need to put an antenna up for the GOTA station across the 
street.  Questions you need to answer are:
         1.  Do the existing 40 and 80 m dipoles have separate 
transmission lines?
         2. Can you operate one transceiver on the 20/15/10 Vertical and 
another on the dipoles simultaneously?
         3. If the answer to 1 is yes, can you operate with one 
transceiver on 80m and another on 40 m simultaneously?
         4. Is operation even permitted on 30/17/12 m for field day, if 
not you don't need any WARC antennas?

If you can operate on 80 and/or 40 simultaneously with 20/15/10, then 
that is probably all you need.  You won't be able to operate two 
stations on any single band even with separate antennas behind the RC 
Building.  I suggest that if you really don't need to add any more 
antennas you shouldn't.

You should check out all the antennas and transmission lines that are a 
permanent part of the station a couple weeks ahead of time in case you 
need to make any repairs.

If you are operating as 2 or 3F (why not 4F!!) then I don't think setup 
time is even a factor since the station is ostensibly part of a 
"permanent" emergency fascility.
