[SMCARA] Plan B

Tue Jun 23 15:10:10 EDT 2015

I agree with Rene on this. We can have someone s I understand a horn and signal shutdown  and resume when safe to do so. Rather than trying to move everything inside. 
Also if we did set up inside with the food and testing etc. Wouldn't it be just a tad bit cramped in the bingo hall?KC3CCNCo- Field Day Coordinator

This has generally been the M.O of field day.  Someone sounds a horn or
something signifying shutdown.  disconnect the antenna and cover the rigs
in plastic/tarps until the storm blows over.
