[Lowfer] Upcoming Ham-Com presentations and Field Day demo activity

[N8OOU]

John,

I could easily put a special message in the part 15 WM Lowfer beacon, 
and send it using a number of modes. I have left the beacon up for the 
summer. I know the it is not a powerhouse station, but I do get a report 
now and then.

I have never participated in this event, so I would need some basic 
guidance as to the message content, modes and times to operate.

Thanks
