Lettuce c if I'm on the LARC General List.

I'll bring my pile of goodies. 

Question - is there a place to meet for Breakfast before going out to 
the Field to set up the Field Stations in the Field for Field Day?  
(Now, that's a fie(n/l)dish question.

I'm sure I won't have my 40/20 metre beam put together in time for this 
field day.  I left all the parts in OhHoHo when I left that state, and 
haven't bothered to try to get it together again.  We did reasonably 
well with a dipole up about 30 feet last year, and this year we might 
get it up 40 to 50 feet (I have 60' of mast, but not sure if it will go 
that high without turning into a wet noodle. :)

He's got a dining canopy for shade and to keep the biting bugs off, as well as a quiet 1000 watt generator, and between the two of us (mostly him; he WORKS folks) we will have fun running up some points while showing folks CW isn't all bad.
