[K3CAL] FIELD DAY 2019

[Steve Hempling]

I will take on managing antennas, and will be there for full event/overnight... early arrival for setup... and will provide some Cincinatti Chile as I have done in the past... if needed I will bring a station SSB/voice but as we're considering 3A... with the GOTA we'll need 4 radios... I'll bring a station to use if we need as well as some antennas and the tripod and vertical military poles we've used in the past.... I no longer have the portable/tilting Rohn 25 tower .... I'll bring my hitch mounted grill... but it's not really large enough  to grill for a crowd... so consider getting an additional grill.... hope this helps... 73   Steve
