[nrv-hams] Field Day 2020 - It's still on!

[Jon Weston]

Hey. I'm glad that the club will have field day. I now plan on showing up
for one day and participating from my usual QTH on the other. I saw that Ed
said that logistics would be discussed on the 15th via the n4nrv repeater
system. I'm trying to plan ahead for field day.

I'm wondering that if I bring my own transceiver will I be able to connect
to the club's antenna system. Also, is it cool if I bring my own stuff and
utilize the dc and table setup? I have been and continue to be extremely
concerned about COVID-19. I want to score some points for the club but, I'm
a little wary of using shared headphones and transceivers given the current
circumstances.

If someone would reply I would appreciate it. I will try to
listen/participate on the 15th.

Thanks, KN4OXI
