THE ULTIMATE FIELD DAY SETUP

Last weekend, ham radio operators across the United States
practiced their emergency communications skills by operating
from portable locations for a 24-hour period.  Members of the
general public who were not licensed hams could even transmit
when a GOTA (pronounced GOAT-aah) station was provided at the
Field Day site, and the operations were supervised by a
licensed ham.

Members of the Fallbrook Amateur Radio Club, not to be
outdone by anyone, built on GOTA's success by inventing a
GOTA-GO station that provides all the necessities of life in
a rugged outdoor setting.  The "armstrong" antenna rotator
(see jpeg image below) and the roll-form log sheets drew rave
reviews from the beta test operator.
