OK guys...  more updates to the field day.  We have secured permission to
set up a station on the base, and we will be using the call sign K1NG/9.  We
will be operating 10-80 as a 1A station.  Instead of using batteries, we
will be using a generator, and also even have a computer to help with dupes.
We will be running a verticle for 10-40.  Haven't figured out what we are
gonna do for 80 yet (lack of mast), but I'm sure we will figure something
out.  Nearest building is only 12 feet tall, so that doesn't help.  Anyone
have any ideas? (there are no trees in the area...Big open area)

We also plan on not actually setting up any radio gear at all until field
day actually starts.

We plan on operating the entire field day.  John, K1NG will be doing a lot
of CW (hence using his call, plus...it's easier to sign than mine...unless I
get extra in the next testing session :) )  I will be doing all SSB, as my
CW skills are about as non-existant as it can get (maybe next year...)

We are even planning on letting some of the non-ham soldiers operate during
field day, to pick up the GOTA points and promotional points.

Will be looking for you guys then.  Have a good field day.
