[K3CAL] Field Day stuff

Wed Jun 12 05:18:43 EDT 2019

Okay,  I've got the coolers covered now.  Thanks.  And a table for the display and GOTA is good now, too.  I'll get all of the miscellaneous stuff from Mt Hope.  And radio stuff also if someone wants to meet me there to decide what needs to be transported.  I can store things in my basement until FD but not permanently.
I will not be going to lunch at Dream Weaver.  It's Red, White and Blue Picnic at the Fairgrounds for all seniors.  Free hot dog lunch with entertainment.  And Bingo, I think.
Thanks for all that you guys are doing to make Field Day successful.

 Hi Dave, We can bring two coolers to Field Day.  We have one folding table that should work.  Can you also pick up the box with the coffee in it?  I did ask Steve, but if you can manage the coffee box, that would be great.  Can you tell I'm obsessing about the damned coffee??? If you don't have room to store what you're picking up, bring it here and we'll haul it down to DP on our trailer.  Also, I looked to see if I had the box of t-shirts and safety vests in our garage, and it is not there.  Please check to see if I left the shirts in Mt. Hope.  I  may have put them in the file cabinet.
  I'm still planning on bringing food, some salads and that kind of thing.  I'm also bringing cookies for the display table.  But if anyone gets hungry, they should go to Peter's house and raid his refrigerator. M

 I am needing a couple of ice chests for the drink bottles/cans and a folding table or two for stations.  There are picnic tables there but they don't make for long term use.  Bring your folding chairs for your stations, too.  Mark your gear with your name/callsign/etc.     I've made a shopping list for the groceries.  I plan to go to Mt Hope on Wednesday afternoon 6/12 to get the tubs with paper products and food related items to inventory so I don't buy things again that we already have.  Side dishes, desserts and snacks for sharing are encouraged.     Meal Plan: Sat midday:  Cold cut sandwiches, chips, drinks, dessert  Sat dinner:  Hamburgers, hot dogs, Cincinnati Chili, fixins, drinks, etc Sun breakfast:  Breakfast burritos (eggs, sausage), salsa, cheese, coffee, etc   There is a refrigerator for storing cold foods.   Looks like we will do 3A but may have 4 or 5 stations set up to choose from.  There will be a station schedule available to sign up for time slots.  GOTA will be set up.    Operators are encouraged to attend and get on the air.     Directions to the Drum Point Clubhouse:  From the north take  Route 2/4 to Lusby,  turn East onto Rousby Hall Road Rt 260.  Stay on Rousby Hall Road through the Lusby town center light to the traffic circle (near Patuxent High School.)  Take the 3rd exit from the traffic circle (staying on Rousby Hall Road Rt 260.)  Go about 2 miles then turn left on Barreda Blvd (at the Drum Point sign)  Turn right staying on Barreda Blvd after about a block.  Follow Barreda about a mile.  It will bear left and change name to Overlook Drive.  Follow Overlook to the gate and dirt road leading to the Drum Point Clubhouse at 465 Overlook Drive, Lusby MD 20657.     Talk in frequency will be on 444.950 + PL 156.7   This repeater does not have great range but does work from Rousby Hall Road mostly.  Phone 443-440-1736 if all else fails.   Did I forget something?  We discussed much more at our June meeting that I'm not repeating here.  We have stations, antennae, food, operators, nice location with a beach. Bring your bathing suit and sand pail.     See you on Saturday June 22nd.  We'll have the gate open around 9AM for set up.  Drum Point will be having their annual meeting in the clubhouse for a while in the morning but we can set up antennae and stations outdoors until they are done.  We will need a few folks to stay after it's done to tear down and pack up.   We have not discussed logging and software and connecting stations together.  I can bring several portable computers if needed.  Is there a software program to pre-load before FD?    It's just under a fortnight until the big day.  Dust off your gear and come play on Field Day.     Dave H KB3RAN CARA Pres
