[PVRCNC] Field Day — Last call

[Eric Wagner]

Jim,

 I’m in and available as needed Friday through shutdown on Sunday.  

I am happy to setup, tear down and bring some food and beverage.  

I can supply an all band FT-991, an auto tuner and laptop.  I think I’ve got already made 40M and 20M dipoles hanging around.   I also have about 30 feet of military surplus fiberglass mast with guy rings and pneumatic launcher for shooting lines.  Oh, I also have a 4-6 person dome tent that would make a cozy operating room sitting.  Standing in it will be a challenge. 

I don’t really have any VHF antennas. With the exception of an old Ringo-Ranger I haven’t used in 26 years.  About the same as my last FD event. 

I won’t be much help on CW, but would be happy to run phone and digital modes.  

Missed the last meeting due to travel, so don’t know who else is interested in giving it a go.  Hope there others interested to have at least a handful of ops.  

Let me know what you decide.  

Eric - NR4O

First of all it seems, with a few exceptions, the members are aging out to the point physical effort in Summer heat is no longer acceptable.  Many of the remaining have commitments elsewhere. The final few who have expressed interest may not be enough to be a viable operation. So if you want to do Field Day at Grey Goose Farm, PLEASE REPLY and let me know if you can come, how long, and what you will volunteer for.
