[K3PZN-List] 2011 CCARC/CCC Field Day Update: Welcome NB3B to 40m SSB, Publicity

[James Nitzberg]

Dear CCARC Field Day enthusiasts,

Andy, WO3L, our President, and Steve, NY3A of the Carroll County Contesters plan to attend Monday's meeting and help lead the discussion to complete our plans for field day. 

Like last year, we are graciously being hosted by the Gamber vounteer fire department.  The hilltop location with clear views down hill in most directions, combined with the improved structures to operate from make this an ideal location.  

Thanks to Tom Flater and the board of directors at the Gamber VFD for their 3rd consecutive year of support!

I am pleased to announce that Bill, NB3B has officially signed on for 40m SSB leadership, media relations and public information table duty.  Those last two positions, while they sound vague, give us 200 bonus points!

Can someone please remind me (Pete VGX, Joe LNM) who our expert CW operator is that you told me about last week?

Two MAJOR SSB bands are still in need of a leader:  10m SSB and 75m SSB, and in fact, this would make an excellent single station:  10m during the daylight hours, 75m after dark.

We also need a VHF team captain since our usual leader is not available.

There are many bonus point categories avalable for those that might be interested in doing educational activities, involving youth, GOTA, Alternat power QSOs, SAT QSOs, and handling messages.

TWO WEEKS UNTIL FIELD DAY....see you there.

73!

Jim   WX3B
