Excellent Nigel! I like the list. I edited the subject line, you can add version 1,2,3 etc to the subject line as it grows. Below you will find some items to add to the list.

First, A note about the antenna system.
 
There will be Five (5) connections, one for 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80. 
All five stations can operate at the same time.
Each station *HAS TO* stay on the Band assigned to that Filter.
Each station can operate any mode.
Club Members are welcomed to bring their own rigs and connect to the antenna system.
Those who choose to set up their own antennas WILL NOT be happy, their will be FIVE filtered stations transmitting.
Those who bring their own rigs, may want to bring their own power supply.
CARA CAN NOT be responsible for damage to rigs.

You can add the following......

Under equipment add

Club's antenna mast, rope and stakes
Club's feed lines.
Club's Elecraft, ( I think it's a K3 ? )
Club's power supply.
Club's First Aid Kit.
Club's two laptops. (unless you have counted those already).
Club's Network Router. (I think it's WiFi ?)

 

Add a heading for food ( I suggest potluck)

Sausage - Andy.
Baked Beans - Lisa. 

Under operators add;

Shawn N3AE - CW.
Brian KB3WFV - Phone.

That's all I can think of for now.

 Hi team,
Great progress so far.  Being the club newbie I would appreciate any feedback if I have missed or misunderstood any "stuff".
equiptment :-
BrianTwo Dipole antennas.5 band pass filters.2 combiners.5 coax jumpers.
Nigel2 x Kenwood TS 450sat HF transievers (possible FT-485 if required)3 x 12vdc mains PSU each has 2 x anderson connectors (12vdc)4 x Dell lap tops windows 7 and N2FJP logging software.1 x starlink mobile unit network hub and cabling 1 x 50' coaxassorted coax patch cables (6" to 36")
AndrewFT-710 and a power supplycopper J-pole and short mast for call-in station and/or Winlink station (i think a good idea).
OpperatorsBill-W3SI (CW) - will bring Key  

we need to check and review how much coax (for feeders) the club has and how serviceable they are.  I have a good selection of connectors if they are required to be replaced.
We still need to organise food and if required some one to cook or manage the food Dick T has mentioned earlier he would be around.  This can be discussed at the next meeting (@ Broom island).
I cant remember from last year but think it will be part of the building, does Broom island have Fire extinguishers?  Can we also come up with a small first aid bag as a just in case.
Please let me know if i missed owt?
Best regardsNigel Fenton - G0JKN/W2

Field Day operations.   I would like to operate CW during FD.  Not sure yet of my availability at this time.  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.

I only live down the road.  I can probably do the cooking at home and run it up.  We can figure it out.

Andy   if you are going to get sausage this year you need a Cook, I will not be doing it this year too hot for me.
We have plenty of time to see if we can have someone to cook the sausages.

I'll be bringing the FT-710 and a power supply. I also have 125' of RG8X, plenty of barrel connectors/adapters, analyzer, one heavy duty 3 plug extension cord, and misc. tools. 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). Waiting to hear from Richard, W3RBR, regarding a generator. He donated his for the weekend last year but don't want to confirm it till I speak with him. We will need 4 more "stations", more or spare coax, and figure out food and drinks(I will donate 10lbs. of Nick's sausage if we want to go that route). What am I missing??? AndyKC3WRX
