If you are interested and haven't signed up to be on the radio or want to learn please choose a time slot. This is a great learning opportunity for anyone that hasn't operated or observed a special event station (including me). We are planning to start setting up at MWCC on Thursday night about 6:00PM. This is the link to the signup sheet. http://goo.gl/n3y7dD Don't be discouraged if you see someone already in the time slot you are interested in. Please still come and we will share the experience. Let me know if you have any questions.

If the Club Trailer is going to be the hub for the wireless network how far away can stations be and still pick-up the wifi signal? I know we want to separate to minimize interference from antennas, but we can't separate too far that stations won't be able to connect to the logging network.

We need to keep things simple and not try to patch in any bridges or whatnot. Then I think we need to do an actual test, with the trailer on-location and using whatever laptops/computers we will be running. Wouldn't take long just to check the signal levels. Remember how close the stations were in Hubbardston. We had limited interaction between stations from what I remember. If we have 50ft more of separation, the interaction will be much less. Whether or not an extra 50 feet will kill the wifi, I'm not sure. -Matt NM1C On Jun 14, 2015 5:34 PM, "Doug Lepisto" wrote: > I've been playing around on Google Earth with some station/antenna > locations for Field Day.

This is a tradition spanning over 13 years for Amateur Radio Operators involved with Field Day and the NWS Taunton SKYWARN Program.. ..This year's Amateur Radio Field Day weekend will feature dry weather conditions Friday into Saturday Afternoon. After that, a windswept rain is expected to develop across much of the NWS Taunton coverage area Saturday Evening through Sunday. This will likely make Amateur Radio Field Day activities wet during the second half of the weekend. Field Day sites are advised to bring rain gear and to prepare for possible windy conditions that could develop as well as for the chance of lightning in any embedded thunderstorm activity that might occur. A widespread 1-3" of rainfall is likely Saturday Evening into Sunday with the highest amounts currently expected in Western New England though that could change as we get closer to the storm event.. ..Amateur Radio Field Day Weekend is an annual event where Ham Operators across the United States setup at Emergency Operations Centers, field locations, home locations etc. to operate and test their equipment and skills and make as many radio contacts as possible during the weekend. Many locations can be visited by the public and Amateur Radio Field Day can be a form of outreach to Ham and non-Ham Operators. It is also noted that several states have given proclamations to Amateur Radio/Ham Radio Operators for either an 'Amateur Radio Day or Amateur Radio Week' during the month of June or an 'Amateur Radio Month' for this month. It is both a fun/preparatory event for Ham Radio Operators for Emergency Communications scenarios.. ..SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely to monitor the Saturday Evening into Sunday storm system. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible depending on the extent of the Saturday Evening to Sunday Morning storm threat.. There are a large number of Amateur Radio Field Day sites across the NWS Taunton Coverage Area and adjacent NWS Coverage Areas. Here are some links to information on these Amateur Radio Field Day Sites from across the region: Amateur Radio Field Day Information: http://www.arrl.org/field-day Amateur Radio Field Day National Locator: http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator Eastern Massachusetts Field Day Home Page: http://fd.ema.arrl.org/ If there is additional Amateur Radio Field Day information that you would like to appear in these coordination message, please contact me and it will be added to this section of the Amateur Radio Field Day Coordination Message. There will likely be a series of Field Day Coordination Messages through Saturday Evening given the potential storm system for Saturday Evening into Sunday. Friday into Saturday Afternoon will feature largely dry and cool conditions. There could be some scattered showers Friday Morning particularly in South Coastal areas but conditions will improve through the day Friday and then be dry through Saturday Afternoon. High temperatures will be in the low 70s with low temperatures in the 50s with some slightly cooler lows in rural areas. As we get into late Saturday Morning into Saturday Afternoon, clouds will increase and thicken over the region. As we get into Saturday Evening into Sunday, a review of the model runs understanding that we are 48-72 hours out from the storm event shows strong correlation on a heavy rainfall event in the Saturday Evening to Sunday timeframe. Some models have the start time of rainfall as early as late Saturday Afternoon or early evening while other model runs have the rain starting late Saturday Night or early Sunday Morning in the 10 PM-2 AM timeframe. Heavier rainfall is expected by Sunday Morning and depicted similarly across the various model runs. Both models bring the heaviest rainfall into Western New England but periods of rain, heavy at times will extend into Eastern New England. By storm's end, rainfall amounts of 1-3" are likely region wide but the higher rainfall amounts in the range are likely in Western New England and potentially secondarily along the Northeast Massachusetts area bordering New Hampshire. Winds may also be a concern with this storm system but it is a bit premature to get into the details on the winds and how strong they will be. Concerning thunderstorm potential, conditions will actually be quite cool as the storm hits with temperatures in the upper 50s and 60s but the strength of the system could mean embedded thunder and lightning in the heavy rain area and a chance for a few thunderstorms later on Sunday Afternoon depending on the evolution of the storm system. These details will be worked out as we get closer to the storm event. In addition, the axis of heaviest rainfall could shift in future forecasts and will be monitored closely. SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely to monitor the Saturday Evening into Sunday storm system. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible depending on the extent of the Saturday Evening to Sunday Morning storm threat. Below is a link to the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook for those interested in checking out weather conditions over the course of Amateur Radio Field Day Weekend: NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook: http://kamala.cod.edu/ma/latest.flus41.KBOX.html As a reminder, during setup and takedown of Amateur Radio Field Day sites and even while operating, be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat accordingly. Also having a jacket or sweatshirt during evenings as conditions cool etc. may also be useful while operating this year's Field Day as well as rain gear given the potential for rain and heavy rainfall. The links below features information on Heat Safety though its noted conditions will be cooler than normal with temperatures in the low 70s Friday and Saturday and even cooler during the storm system Saturday Night into Sunday as well as Lightning Safety since this year's Amateur Radio Field Day weekend coincides with Lightning Safety Awareness Week and Flood Safety Information from the NWS Taunton Flood Safety Awareness Week given the potential for heavy rainfall during the second half of Amateur Radio Field Day weekend: NWS Heat Safety Rules: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/heat/index.shtml NWS Taunton Flood Safety Awareness Week Information: http://www.wx1box.org/local/flood_awareness_2015.txt NWS Taunton Lightning Safety Awareness Week Information: http://www.wx1box.org/local/lightning_safety_awareness_2015.txt Amateur Radio Field Day sites are encouraged to bring a NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio and a dedicated Ham Radio that can monitor their local SKYWARN Frequency for their area as a best safety and preparedness practice. Also sites that have mobile Internet capability can utilize that capability as a way to monitor for weather information. With Mobile Internet capability, utilizing Echolink to monitor the New England Reflector system on Echolink Conference Node: 9123/IRLP 9123 would be helpful as well. Please see the link below for the latest SKYWARN Frequency information for the region: http://www.wx1box.org/node/37 The next coordination message will be posted by 930 AM Friday Morning.

If we're not allowed to start until later our first priority should be to get the ropes in the trees before we lose daylight. We can always pull the antennas up after dark if need be, but it would be really hard to put up ropes in the dark. We should also make sure that the 160m dipole is cut down to 80m ahead of time and all ready to go. I'm concerned we're not going to have enough time to set-up the antennas before dark unless we really work fast. In the past we've started setting up earlier in the afternoon and were even pressed for time then. It would be best to avoid having to set-up antennas on Saturday morning and exhaust ourselves before we even begin operating.

We do have permission for the full 48 hours. If we start impeding traffic in any way then we may run into problems. Delivery of the porta-potty, club trailer etc in the morning is not an issue. Starting to move in additional equipment during the day is ok, and scoping out the area and selecting antenna locations after 15:00 is fine. Most of the college business should be concluded by 16:00 and our activity can begin to ramp up with full reign at 18:00. If you want to start earlier, then next year I can request that. I work for a no-non-sense, no-bull Chief. ANYTHING, that puts a bad light upon the department and college is dealt with SEVERLY. Please feel free to call me if you have any other questions.

SAMPLE EXCHANGE: Them: CQ Field Day CQ Field Day, Kilo 5 Mike Golf. Us: November 1 Whiskey Whiskey. Them: November 1 Whiskey Whiskey 2 Alpha West Texas, Whiskey Tango X-Ray. Us: Thank you. 4 Alpha Western Mass, Whiskey Mike Alpha. We would type in the log: K5MG 2A WTX This is a typical exchange. For us calling CQ just reverse the roles. You might also hear some other various styles of giving out the exchange like "Please copy 2 Alpha West Texas" or "You're 2 Alpha West Texas" That's fine too, but I prefer to leave out the extra words and save time/my voice. SCORING: We get 1 point for every sideband QSO and 2 points for every digital/CQ QSO. Then we multiply this by a power multiplier of 2 since we're running 100 watts. And finally we add in the bonus points. GOTA SCORING: GOTA station contacts will be sideband and count as 1 point each for our total count (maximum of 500 total contacts on the GOTA station). Each different operator of the GOTA station can earn up to 100 bonus points in increments of 20 bonus points after the complete of each set of 20 contacts. (No partial credit, has to be in increments of 20) Once a GOTA operator has maxed out their bonus points they can still continue to make contacts to add to the clubs total!!!
