Subject: [SMCARA] Field Day Preps - Tuesday A.M. Update
Importance: High


Gents,
We are doing well with volunteers and equipment.  We still have critical needs in the following:

- HF radios (1)
- Antennas:  40M, 80M, 15M?
- Night owls (or members of the Undead) for night watch/ operations


***Editorial Correction**
Grant wants me to correct my country error since the local people take it seriously.  He is in Kazakhstan, or won't be, soon.



Update: Tuesday June 21th

Re:   FIELD DAY EQUIPMENT / VOLUNTEER LIST
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,   
Either via the club reflector or directly to:  MerrittWS at Earthlink.Net
