Team Members - here is what I am thinking for station 2:
 
Rig: either my K2, or a borrowed K3 may be in the works.  pro for the K2 is that it is a different rig than the K3 at CW-1, which is also its con!  I sense many of us don't have a preference - and I find it is fun to experience a different rig than I use every day.  
 
Power: W3JJH did offer solar/battery power resources for a 'green' experience (which would work well with a K2 given its lower power drain on receive).  but I sense he may have his hands full (??) in arranging a phone station, so we may operate from generator.  
 
Bands and Antenna: inverted V for 40m, which we found last year was fine also on 15m - as KH6 may be far enough west for FD !  
 
Operators: Anyone who is willing to do some CW.  I would like to arrange shorter time slots during Saturday afternoon to get as many as we can into the action.  Then we will see who is available for evening, night shift and Sunday morning.  Please don't be shy in asking for time at CW#2 - and we'll gladly provide any needed training on logging.  
 
Logging: we'll use N1MM (let me know if you need some coaching in possibly getting it set up at home, where it is best to have a rig with PC interface)
 
Set-up: late Saturday morning
 
I prefer to co-locate the rig with CW-1 for convenience of operators and security.  
 
Contact me ASAP if you are interested in operating.  
 
Curt
