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

[Cam Coble]

Thanks Jon,
2 of the 3 stations will be available for your own setup. We will be
providing at least antennas and AC power to each station, and possibly DC
power as well. We'll see as we get closer when people sign up for bringing
things, and more will be understood after the Monday meeting.

Everyone needs to bring their own headphones. Microphones are the oddball
thing, but we will be wiping things down between sessions.

Thanks!
