[HCRA] Field Day with the HCRA

[Lauren Kelley]

Hey Larry,

this is lauren ke1dw.  Tonight I’m helping at a scout camp out and missed the meeting.   I’m available for the entire weekend and will help set up, operate, and will bring some food like pulled pork to share.  I was hoping to fill in and watch operators before i jump in  as I haven’t done a lot of contesting.  My last field day was 2002 or so.  I am a skilled operator though and have done cw. I would be interested in hearing about the setup like if a computer is used to reply.  I will be staying over in my van
