[SMCARA] Field Day

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Crickets, so far. Do we have a coordinator?

I like your "Go Box" idea, as that fits perfectly into the spirit of FD.

We typically do 3A, but the only time we seem to have 3 stations blasting away is during Saturday afternoon.  Maybe try 2A?  Make the 3rd station into a GOTA? Go 3A and dedicate one to digital?, Go 3A anyway just for fun!

Is the site reserved? Tent reserved? Generators? Chow? Rocket Launcher and beam? Wire antennas? 

Club has access to a Yaesu 847, Icom 751A, Icom 735, Icom 725, which are all good, but don't have robust front ends for good FD type ops.  They will be there. Might be fun to use some "newer" rigs if folks care to share.

I will be out of town for the run-up to FD, but will deliver all the usual stuff to Dan or whoever.  Rigs, PSUs, Triplexer, filters, coax, 2, 6, and 10 Ringo antennas, OD green antenna masts and tripod, HD power extensions.

What category are we working for FD?  Are we going to have a GOTA station?
Do we have enough radios committed?  I have a TS-480 in a go-box ready to lend to the effort (phone, CW, and digimode capable).  How about antennas?
I can rig up a 40M dipole if necessary - I also have a buddipole that is just itching to radiate.
