[K3PZN-List] 15 Days Until Field Day

[W3JJH]

All:

There's some buzz starting on the reflector about antennas.  I've seen several
good proposals.  We will have a walk-though of the site at 7 pm on Monday
(that's a half hour before the club meeting).  All the Station Captains should
attend.  Anyone else interested is welcome.  The purpose of this brief meeting
is to agree on the general layout of the antennas.

There have been several suggestions that we setup one of the County-provided go
kits as a packet node that would qualify as a Non-traditional Mode Demonstration
under the rules.  This would also be a good thing to show to an elected official
(100 point bonus for the visit) or to someone from a served agency (another 100
point bonus).  We have the gear, do we have a volunteer to do the setup and
invite the visitors?

We need a Food Captain.

For those who haven't been following the reflector traffic, GIOTA stands for
"Get It On The Air."  This is an operating position for less than contest
quality or heritage QRP rigs.  Bring one if you'd like to join in the fun.

Of course, we still need volunteers to cover those ??? areas.

Oh, one more thing.  We still need a Food Captain.
