[HCRA] Field Day is this weekend!

[Jeffrey Bail - NT1K]

Hello,

Just letting you know that the ARRL's annual field day is this weekend.
HCRA will be hosting a field day at School Street Park in Agawam
Massachusetts. You and any guests are welcome to attend. It's close to Rt.
5 and I-91. It's a very good location. This will be our 4th year there. As
of right now, the weather is not best conditions for setup. However if we
have enough people, the equipment could be setup before any possible
weather issues. It's suggested to bring a rain coat in case

We are still looking for volunteers to help with setup, operations and tear
down.
Please visit our Field Day webpage for more information.

If you are volunteering, it's strongly suggest to scroll towards the bottom
of the site to see the resources and other information for volunteers

----
PLEASE USE THE PARKING LOTS!!

We ask that anyone who is visiting and/or volunteering at the FD site to
use the parking lots that are located on either school street or Corey
street. Do not drive on the pathway into the park/bandshell with the
exception of stations captains or those bringing in heavy or large
equipment. We will be locking the gates. Last year we had too many vehicles
parked on the field. We want to respect school street park and the town of
Agawam. Overnight guests will have the option to move their vehicles into
the site.

-----
Please bring a fully charged HT

HCRA Field Day on site operations will be on either 146.580 or 146.595Mhz
simplex. Peter (K1ZJH) gave us permission to use his 146.715- (PL: 100)
repeater for talk-in and off site operations. Please have your HT charged
and these frequencies/repeaters programmed into the radio before heading
out to FD.

This is HCRA's biggest event! It should be a fun time for all. Hopefully
the weather holds out!

See you there,
