[PPRAANet] Field Day Status and updates

[Dan Scott]

Howdy all!

Field Day is right around the corner.  Remember, setup starts at
Noon this Friday and the contest starts at Noon Saturday.

We have a few changes to previous messages, the most noteworthy first:
1.  Dinner on Saturday is planned as Sloppy Joe's.  Everyone bring
    a side-dish to share.  <change from providing you own main dish too>
2.  We will have 3 large tents (not 4) and a trailer for the VHF station.

Picnic tables in the camping area will be brought to the dining 
area.  Not only will this provide more room for eating, but will 
allow an area where Hams, friends, and families can socialize.

MARC is providing most all creature comforts including cooking 
facilities, generators, and gas.
