[K3PZN-List] FD 2008 thoughts

[John Hart]

To all,
 
What do you think about pairing up the various modes on each band at each station location, such as 80 meters digital and SSB as they tend to operate at each end of the band.  80 meters CW and digital stations would then have to be located as far apart as possible as they would be both in the lower end of the band.  Keeping the transmitter power in the QRP range would help to reduce any overloading that might occur.  I think it would be very much to our advantage to organize the FD Site on paper and maybe even test the site before FD comes around, keeping in mind the 1000 foot diameter FD site rules.  (Are the 2008 rules out yet?)  The location is not that important to me although I do like some creature comforts and protection from the weather if that is possible.
 
Just a thought,
