[SMCARA] Field Day 2005 Volunteer Update - Monday 20th

[Clarke, Tom VX-20 OPS]

OK,  looking good.

What's a couple of kilometers or "stans" between friends, but Grant is in Kazakhstan!!

I will bring 3 HF radios and psu.  I will also have my QRP "flyaway kit" with the Yaesu FT-817.

I will also bring a GAP vertical antenna ala the museum type antenna.  We have one at the MARS station that is assembled, but not installed yet. We will need about a 6 foot chunk of heavy wall 1 1/2 inch pipe to drive in the ground for a mount.  I also have nylon guy rope.

I have a whole roll of #12 copper wire if we need to make up some dipoles.  I probably have at least one center insulator too.

"CQ Field Day"!!

Gents,
Field Day is just around the corner, Saturday/Sunday 25, 26 June.  We need volunteers 
to take provide portions of the equipment and services and help spread the load.  Remember, there isn’t a “George” to do to everything.  If we don’t have volunteers, we will do without.   Final preparations will be reviewed at the regular club meeting this Thursday, 23 June.  LETS HAVE A GREAT TIME!!

Please let me know if you can volunteer or have corrections to the list,
