[K3PZN-List] Field Day

[John Hart]

Sounds great Mike,
Wish I could be there this year but that is not possible.  I am going to try to take a small HF rig on my trip, SSB and maybe some of the digital modes.  Getting to use it is another issue.
John, K3KWO

> As you may know I will be the chairman for this years field day. I plan on meeting with the folks at Gamber to get their OK for using the grounds again. I had been the FD chairman a few years ago so I know what the needs of the weekend will be. To me, Field Day is a great time for everyone in the club to get together and share our knowledge with others to make all of us better operators. This is a "VERY LOW PRESSURE" contest where it's more important to have fun and learn that it is to make QSO's. It's a great time to have the kids work the radio and get the ham radio bug. I want our success to be how many people we can get to want to try ham radio VS the total score.

> 
> All the other station are open. (10m, 15m, 20m, 40m. 80m --- SSB & CW). If 1 or 2 of you want to pair up and do 2 bands, then let me know that. (10m & 40m or 15 & 80 OR say 40 SSB & CW). 2 people same band and switch between SSB & CW....

> The ARRL does not require the logs from each station (just the QSO count from each band and mode) so the logging software is all up to you and what you like. N3FJP has a good one and N1MM is a freebee ----- I just need to get your totals at the end.
> 
> I will look at all the Bonus points and try to get as many of these as we can... (youth operators, info table, solar power, ARRL NTS message, W1AW bulletin). These are easy to get the bonus points -- we just need to do it. I will have the info needed for this and just need someone to say "I'll do it" and that an extra 100 points...

> We also need 1 or 2 to coordinate the food for the weekend. (setup Friday thru breakfast on Sunday)..
> 
> 
> Remember this is a FUN weekend for all of the club. Bring someone with you that know nothing about radio and let them make a Q or 2...
> Send me a note back on the K3PZN list OR send direct to N3VOP at HOTMAIL.COM
