[TAC] Field Day is coming

[hank k8dd]

OK .... so most everyone is getting the posts on the
TAC list!

Now ..... Who is going to come to the Field Day at
the Burtchville Township Park?   Besides Stan, Ian
and me, that is?

As far as I know, the cabins just to the north of the
park (Cosy Cabins) are all reserved.  Demick's Cabins
may have some vacancies - We have one there for
Friday and Saturday nights.  Both places are $65 a
night.

Field Day is coming!   June 23 - 24th
Same location as last year - Burchville Twp Park.
 http://www.k8dd.com/files/tac has information and
maps how to get there.

 We're planning on a TAC meeting around June 19, 20
 or 18th at the normal place in Lapeer to talk about

 FD and see who all might be coming to operate, or to
 learn how to operate FD!
 Normal place = Calvellis in downtown Lapeer!

We have lost a couple of ops in the past year ....
John K8JM moved to SW Ohio for work.
Buck N8CQA became a silent key.

In the past we have had a 2A Field Day, a combined
EMARC and TAC Field Day and that has worked out
quite well.

If you don't have any plans for FD, or don't want to
drive a long distance, or don't have a club to go to
FD with, how about coming out to the EMARC / TAC
Field Day.  Let me know if you're thinking about
coming out and I'll put you on the list!

At this point the plans are to have two stations.  Each
with a laptop running WriteLog and networked together.
Easy to operate - there will be help to show you how it
works - memory keyer for the CW ops, radio control, etc.
It's so easy even Stan and I can figure how to make it
work!
So far the antennas planned are:
40M - Half wave dipole, 2 element wire beam.
80M - G5RV
20 - 15 - 10M - a 2 element yagi on a 30' mast.
                      - possibly a 3 element TA-33 yagi on a tower.
6M - 3 element yagi on a 30' mast.

I'll be out of town June 5 - 12 for the Hamcom Hamfest with
Stan, AC8W, in Plano, TX (north of Dallas), but I'll be able to
check email most of the time.
