[K3PZN-List] CCARC equipment for Field Day

[Curt Milton]

OK - sounds like we should deliver the K3PZN set to the digital station, as it likely will QSY from 20, 40 to 80 as the sun moves.  Maybe nearby GOTA can use a 'left-over' filter to be on a different band.  We'll see how close John's metal box will park to GOTA's carnival box ....  

You can dispense the other filters as you see fit !  

I cannot make it to setup until early Friday evening - but all we have to deploy (for 40m CW)  is a center fed wire.  We wish it to point roughly west, which will matter if we use it on 15m (that is if 15m opens up).  Preference is to run it over/near our hut as that should also keep it away from the other antenna locations with CW being assigned the middle.

Hi Curt,

We'll want the highest duty cycle modes to ALWAYS have a filter on if we run out of filters (though NY3A is likely to also supply his own filters for CW)....

Digital MUST use them always....CW should use them....and SSB is the most flexible.

Ideally, we bring enough filters so everyone uses them at all times, and you're right Curt, they don't do a thing for same band interference.
