[TAC] TAC Field Day Planning Meeting

[Ian Hill]

Don't forget some kind of lighting for the operating tents.

I recommend that we do operate as a two transmitter category.
I will be bringing my home satellite station since I just disassembled the
whole thing.
I'm also thinking of making an 80M half-square to compliment the 80M dipole.
The last couple years we've rarely working into W6 and W7 on 80 and having
some gain in that direction won't hurt at all.
