[TMRA] HAM RADIO Field Day 2019 setup and operation.

[Steve Bellner]

*THIS IS ONLY A PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR 2019 FIELD DAY. I CAN ONLY HOPE 
THIS GOES SMOOTHLY.*

*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*

*Setup on Friday June 21*:

We will meet at the lockup at 9 am and load up the tent, the ladder, and 
other assorted Field Day equipment.

We will try to be at the Field Day site about 10 am.

*Before we set up the tent we plan to install as many antennas as we can.*

We will need to assemble the HEX beam. This will take several people. 
Dave KD8EVN is scheduled to undertake this task and will need volunteers 
to help him.

The tent placement will depend on finding a central location to the 
field and the operating sites.

Once we have decided on an appropriate site, we will erect the tent.

Lunch is at 12 pm.  Bring or buy your own lunch.

Set up FD server and get laptops loaded with N3FJP Software. If you have 
a laptop that needs the program, bring it Friday or early Saturday and 
we will try to get it operational.

Setup signage and the Information Table/Booth.

/Tim, KD8IZU will be the safety officer for the entire event./

/I am in need of a second safety officer for this event. Let me know if 
you are willing to undertake this. It is not difficult and won't take 
away from your operating time./

/I am also in need of help to get the FD server operational and to 
install software on Laptops./
