[MohawkARC] Field Day setup

[Doug Lepisto]

Paul, you said after 15:00 and 18:00, when are we safe?

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.

Doug
