[W2CRA] Skylands Reminder

[William Powell]

All,
 
Since this event covers a large area it is imperative that you
maximize your communications capabilities:
 - Do NOT attempt to use an HT with a rubber duck antenna.  Use a 1/2
wave antenna if you HAVE to use an HT,
 - Use a mobile where possible.  Consider making or otherwise
obtaining a 10' microphone extension cord or even remoting your radio
(longer / extension power and antenna cables) to the trunk, hood or a
table near the car,
 - Be prepared to move (the antenna or you and your HT)  back or
forward by as much as 10' to get out of "dead" spots,
I'm assuming we will be using 015 so remember that it is still running
at only 20W but, since none of you have 20W HT's, that shouldn't be a
big problem.
 
See you there,
Bill - WB1GOT
