[RVRC] RVRC 'Field' Day - please read

[Craig W Saums]

Are you feeling the need to play with radio stuff on Field Day?

If you don't have other plans and want to visit the W2QW repeater site, a few of us will be working on the antennas and maybe doing a little shed project work.  It would be great to stop by and give us a hand or just to see what's happening 'on the hill'.  

Our main activity is to assemble the new folded dipole antennas (2 Meter and 440) in preparation for a climb and reinstallation on the tower.  This work requires a few sets of hands to get everything in position properly and attached to the mast mounts.

The 'unofficial' work day will be from approximately 11:30 to 3:30.  The repeater site (the hill) is at the Lund homestead at 112 Rock Rd West in Greenbrook.  This is a few blocks from Washington Rock park.  

Please let me know if you plan to stop by.  We can always use a few folks to help clean up around the tower site.  If you have a favorite rake and some trash bags and some good gloves, please bring them along to give us a hand. Please note - there is some poison ivy around so bring appropriate protection.  Please bring your own snacks and refreshments.

If we really get crazy, I might try to bring a radio and a G5RV to see if we can heat up the airwaves a little - no promises - the antenna work is the main event.

Thanks
