[K3CAL] Field Day Followup

[Monica Noell]

Hi Shawn.

Thanks for these suggestions.  This is exactly what I was hoping for.  I 
have a folder ready and waiting to consolidate all the ideas that I get 
from the club.  I plan on discussing what I have at the August meeting.

And thanks for the endorsement on Broome's Island.  I was also thinking 
that one of the high schools that would be used as an emergency center 
in case of a disaster would be a great site also. It would let us set up 
as though we were really dealing with a disaster in the county.  I'm 
going to look into that to see if it's feasible.  Besides, a high school 
would have showers!!  But I do like Broome's!

Thank you!
Monica
