[K3CAL] Field Day Final

[Wa4prr]

Thanks for the photo!  This helps in some in planning where antennas may go.  It looks like a house on the other side of the trees - the generator(s) should be away from there.

Maybe a vertical antenna will serve better than a wire for one of the stations?

Anyway, see you tomorrow morning.  73,

Beyond the food and the fun of radio, it is about setting up and operating in less then optimum conditions.  Emergency communications is also a root of our association.  These two things go hand-in-hand.

We will go in with our previous plans, and will adapt to the conditions given.  This is emergency communication.  If we truly believe what we say, that we are able to provide assistance during emergencies, then we will put together a successful event, even if we have to change our station class, etc. to make it work.  We will also use this as an example to our visitors that this association can adapt, and deploy, and do it quickly.
