[K3PZN-List] 16 Days Until Field Day

[geobra at att.net]

Tony,

Would it be possible to set up a 7.3.10. Non-Traditional Mode Demonstration with the equipment they donated?

7.3.10.2. A complete portable packet system may be included as one of the demonstration modes. This system must include a temporary, portable node and must be completely separate from the existing packet infrastructure of your area. Simply setting up a packet station does not qualify as a demonstration mode.

If so maybe CARET could set it up at Field Day and do the invites.  Topic for Tuesday net???

Rich
