[OFARC] FW: Adapting for Field Day

[Dominic Mazoch]

CQ;

I am going to be a bit to the point blunt.

But FD in its present form is Jurassic Park.

We need to be able to deploy and use all modes and all frequencies.

But FD I do not think cuts it.  Too plained.  To normal.

The real test is when something comes out of nowhere and the defication meets the ventilation. At night.  During the week.

And does it move the needle in terms of getting new hams?

Personally, PI Day last year, the BSA events at the Dome, and even Dickens introduced more people to ham radio.  And the first two were under FD conditions

I think the FD part should be more intergrated to the Simulated Emergency Test in October.  Now, once we get the all clear, the GOTA station could be an event on its own.

The needle needs to be moved.  But I think we having been doing a famous line from I think Albert Einstein:  Doing the same thing overand over again expecting a diferent result.

Sometimes it is good not doing something, for when you return, you are fresh and have an open mind.

If I skip FD, it is OK.  HF has not been too great generally below 7.0mhz.

73,

This link takes you to a nice article at ARRL

It describes ways adapt and still participate as a club or individual.

Hal and I welcome your thoughts on how OFARC should proceed.
