[K3PZN-List] Organizing FD Operators

Fri Jun 22 13:27:33 EDT 2012

Curt, 
I am available all day Saturday to operate, and into the night. I am primarily a CW operator and can check into the MDD net at 7PM on 80M to pass our Field Day message. I can work phone also, if needed. I can also help with setup. Looking forward to this weekend. 
Regards, 
Pete Young, K3IN

Operators and interest in this year's FD is at an all time low. It will make my day to get you onto a rig as you are available - so let's assume we will get you on the air some both Saturday evening and Sunday morning. I have some rig time promised to N3WM after dinner on Saturday - everything else is negotiable. 

You had mentioned about a half dozen scouts perhaps. I am thinking to invite them to a rig two-by-two to quickly train them, and have them make some phone QSO's. I would be amazed if their attention span is more than an hour or two -- so keep that in mind ! Our manpower is so scarce it may be hard to keep them too occupied. Ideas from club appreciated.

I am available basically all of Saturday. I have committed to the scouts to be there from 14:00 - 18:00 to provide sign off for any scouts that show up and participate. Right now I have 6 scouts that have confirmed their intention to show up. Most probably closer to 14:00. I expect a few more to just show up as well. 

As far as my operating, I can operate when no scouts are present, and 'give up my seat' when there are some present. 

Depending on how things go, I may stay later than 18:00, and/or try to come back Sunday morning. Is there a preference?

While it is the responsibility of each captain to man the rigs, I sense we may not have a clear picture on who is doing what. I suggest we schedule our rig's operators especially thru prime time on Saturday - and insuring we get everyone available into the action somewhere. 

On Pete's rig - 40/15m CW and possibly also covering 40m SSB: 
Bill N3WM is covering early evening after dinner 
Prior to dinner, Pete and I could do some CW and also defer to some SSB 
Also interested in who else would like to operate some CW ? 
This is the station I am most involved with myself - I will check in with Pete to see what I need to bring other than its 40m dipole. 

Ray/Kerri's rig -- 20/15m SSB 
We have two operators in place there! 
As this might be our path to 20m CW, maybe, might need to interject a CW op somewhere 

We have visiting Scouts + Eric to get onto the air on SSB -- I suggest we split the scouts between Ray/Kerri's rig and perhaps our third HF rig .... 

Mike's HF rig -- digital and maybe (?) SSB. 
I don't know who is supporting Mike in operating this? 
I don't know what bands it will cover 

Mike's VHF rig -- ? 

I have one ham who wishes to help set up and operate - N3DRA. Last year John put together 80m SSB. I am not sure we need a fourth HF rig based upon perceived operators thus far, so can we integrate John into one of 3 HF stations to emerge (he does not do much CW ....) 

I am bringing a 40m dipole (Pete's station) plus a triband beam (Ray/Kerri's station). I have other stuff available as a back-up as needed. I presume each of captains is bringing PC's (or using one from the club).
