Hot News! It's Field Day time again

[James Jordan]

Hi gang,
It's really been a long time since we've done a FD op in the Raleigh area
as an official PVRCNC event. Of course, it isn't a contest, and we're a
contesting club, but you know what I mean. 😄
Some of you may remember doing FD at my son Jon's Grey Goose Farm. It's a
good location and we can be in AC comfort in the barn/garage if we limit it
to a 2A to minimize inter-station QRM. I'm also thinking REALLY SIMPLE
setup Saturday morning only to minimize being out in the heat for long.
Dipoles or multi-band wires unless someone has a really easy tri-bander set
up to bring.
No cooking or food logistics. Ice chest with drinks, a few snacks and we do
a fast food run or two, or go in to Creedmoor in shifts. Of course, if
anyone wants to volunteer to replace "Chef Archie", Jon has a
fully equipped outdoor kitchen, but I really want to keep it a simple event
for us OF's!
I've got the VP5 mini-computer and a laptop, two K3's, paddles, headsets,
probably everything we need. The generator will need a few gallons of gas
but otherwise we just need some phone and cw operators to put us on the map
for NC. Call sign TBD. Maybe a short or memorable club call?
Put in as many hours as you want, whenever you want.
Just looking for a fun event and an opportunity for us to get together.
Won't worry much about bonus points and I doubt we'll have a score to
challenge W3AO!
Any takers? LMK ASAP so I can do the planning on my side.
If you don't remember, or for newbies, the location is
1153 Dutchville Drive
Creedmoor
I'm copying to the "big" reflector just in case there is interest outside
the NC mini-circle.
