[K3PZN-List] Pre Field Day Meeting

The meeting went well, we covered a lot and have the following general 
plans:

SSB station will use the beam and one windom on the tower. Station will 
be run out of the club station room.

CW station will be run out of the burn tower. They plan to setup 1-2 
dipoles and a vertical on the burn tower.

Digital station - we reserved the hill over the FTC building for you and 
the remaining windom antenna on the tower. Power is available from the 
two buildings or by the base of the tower. So you have at least 1 wire 
antenna at decent height already (sort-a) setup.

VHF has a 6/2/440 vertical already up and a quad that could be put up on 
short notice.

The building across from where we have our meetings has been staked out 
for food.

In order to make this work we'll need to have a tower climb in the next 
few weeks to replace the windoms and re-terminate a piece of hardline to 
correct a long standing installation defect. Should be doable in a few 
hours time.

My Comm. shelter rehab is coming along very well as the A/C unit is inplace and a great deal of the outside repainting is complete.  I am still looking forward to doing a little FD site scouting at the FTC Compound for things like available power and relitively high antenna tie points for dipoles.
