[KCDXC] W0CW Field Day KCDX Club

[Robert Underwood]

Wow, way fantastic Mike...    I've done many of Field Day setup and have
always really enjoy the efforts to make it possible for anyone to operate
and have fun.   I will gladly do it again.

More for the next meeting.

I think Bill's idea is great! What a great way to introduce young people to 
ham radio! Probably can't do it this year, but maybe the club can discuss it

and plan on 2012!!!

FYI for new guys, the KCDXC has done FD several times over the years. The 
Best was at AB0I's Radio Ranch circa 1978.

I remember operating 20 M SSB and because signal was so big with John's big 
antennas, I had to run callers by districts! We worked well into the night 
operating this way at huge rates, until the band closed. Then we went to 40 
and we worked Russians all night along with hundreds of USA FD guys. Great 
fun!!

K0LW has sponsored several FD's at his QTH with varying results. Lee can 
comment on this.

With the convention keeping some of us very busy, next year seems like a 
good idea. But at K0RU's QTH isn't bad either. Could be a topic of 
discussion at next meeting.

73,
Mike, AB0X
