[K3PZN-List] Field day 2011: less than 3 weeks...

[Curt Milton]

A lot of time on it?  You have us thinking your XYL has banished you to the box!  


I can't imagine the club's generators handling your AC --  


I sense this may be turning into a 'tactical exercise' vs something over-planned, not that Jim hasn't worked hard to get this off the ground.  


Its not a requirement that you have to operate from 'the box' - although it was popular with our ARRL HQ visitor!  


You could use your pallet of batteries that ran the digital station when we were QRP that year -- maybe it will handle your AC for a little while!  


I sense we need a better idea of operator headcount for FD -- and it would be neat if folk would literally come out of the wood-work for a large event.  We can all operate our own rigs at home - so hopefully we can stimulate some interest.  


I should be able to help put a second CW station together -- but I sense it may be 'gray' not 'green' in either sense.  Let's see how many CW ops we can draw (not that I wish to be lumped in a particular category!)

PS - LOTW today has my 1st QSO/QSL to Europe on 6m.  100w + a two element quad.  nice gift from the E-layer a couple days ago

Jim,
Does anyone have an extra generator for FD?  I will bring my 5000 watt unit but it's getting a lot of time on it so I am a little concerned.  I only need about 2000 to 2500 watts to power my BOX but last year I supplied two other stations too.   What do you think?

John, K3KWO

> Dear field day enthusiasts,
> 
> Kind of hard to believe, but we have LESS THAN 3 weeks before 2011 field day!!!
> 
> So far we have the following leaders on board for this year's event:
> 
> WX3B - default leader until a new leader is identified
> 
> WX3B - 15m SSB station captain
> K1RH - 20m SSB station captain
> K3KWO - Digital station captain, willing to also do some SSB
> NY3A - CW station captain
> WB8YYY - "Green" station leader - wants some help.
> 
> If someone steps forward and volunteers for food service, it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise we will stick with our Saturday evening BBQ meal and Sunday morning breakfast sandwiches, with other food provided by the participants.
> 
> If you are interested in leading a station, you might notice that we are in need of someone covering 10m (should be good this year), 40m and 80m SSB! 
> 
> If we have some CW enthusiasts willing to captain a station, NY3A will gladly share the CW duties.
> 
> I would imagine we will have a rather LIVELY field day discussion at this month's CCARC meeting - look forward to seeing everyone then.
