[SJRA-Members] K2AA needs Ops for 20m CW on Field Day !

QST QST QST

Does your blood pressure go up if someone sends you 599 instead of 5NN
during a contest?
Do you know the difference between a house key and a straight key?
Do you know what the abbreviation for Continuous Wave is?
Are you tired of listening to static crashes on 80m CW?
Do you know who Samuel Morse was?
No slots available on 40m CW?

If the answer to any or all of these questions is "yes" (or even "maybe"),
then you are qualified to operate CW on 20m during Field Day next weekend!

We need operators. 

Last year the 20m CW station was only behind 40m CW by a couple hundred QSOs
(832 vs 1,047).  
If we can keep the chair filled, we can even that number up.  
Nationally, 20m CW scores more than 40m does so this is actually possible.

This year we will have a Kenwood TS-590SG at the station.
This radio has a fantastic receiver with a 500 Hz roofing filter and DSP
filtering that lets you set it even tighter if you wish.  
This is a great radio and a joy to operate.  Instruction will be given to
anyone who wants it. 
The radio will be fully interfaced to the logging computer for sending CW
from the logging program or you can use a paddle if you prefer.

The station will also have a TA-33 tribander up 50 ft, a band pass filter,
and at least one tuned stub to reduce interference from those "other"
stations.

So far, I've only assigned myself a shift in the late afternoon/early
evening.
If you have a scheduling conflict and would prefer this slot, I'll be happy
to move.

If you have time and can operate, reply to this email and I'll be happy to
write you in.
