I plan to operate CW as well. I'll bring my own paddle and keyer.
The club has several 75-100 ft runs of RG-8X specifically purchased for FD. I'll grab them and test using my VNA prior to FD
We also have a first aid kit donated by KC3WRX which I will also pick up. Ditto for a weather alert radio.
I just received two balun kits which I will assemble and install inside Brian's dipole center insulator boxes.
What are we operating this year ... 3A, 4A ??

I will be back from Florida around June 10th and it takes a day or two to get settled back into the house. I'll keep y'all posted. Let me know what to bring other than a key, I will be bringing my own key this year.

Was planning on bringing a copper J-pole and short mast for call-in station and/or Winlink station if we want to add those(wouldn't mind setting up a Winlink station using one of the tape measure yagi's if it will work... could be an interesting display).
