To demonstrate to the public (if anyone does show up) that we can do more than reciting 7A MD (for hopefully many thousand contacts) - K3PZN will also deploy a VHF data link (FM) on Saturday afternoon.
We will demonstrate diverse communications (including images) to at least 2 other field day sites - one is the PVRC/CARA FD not too far away, and also to the Anne Arundel site (likely thru a repeater).
Actually they are expecting many visiting authorities down at the PVRC site, so we will have visibility down there for sure. Tony KF4AK will captain this activity, and who knows maybe we will even find N3SB some place on another end in his travels.
Of course we'll find someplace in the FD scoring to get a few points (training ??) for this.
I wonder if anyone is going to stretch a lot of wire across the site Saturday night to get us onto top band ?? I know that 260 feet of wire, fed off-center, with an ordinary tuner will load .... and work at least a 1000 miles.
Let's modulate all kinds of ways and have some fun!
