More reasons for Field Day participation. Looks like it's growing. I 
know I'm looking forward to the weekend.

As you know Field Day is this weekend at Camp Mountaineer in Grafton. 
We’ll begin setting up in the morning and the official start is 1800 UTC 
(2:00 PM) Sat, but I can assure you there will be radios in operation 
sooner. We will have a few radios set up that anyone can use or you can 
bring your own setup. There will be plenty of power thanks to the WVU 
guys who are planning to bring their generator.

There is a*Foxhunt* planned so bring your hunting equipment.

Also planned is a ‘*potluck*’ so feel free to add something to the table 
(not required, we’ll feed you regardless).

As of yesterday we have *a new addition to the activities, a Black Box 
Raffle*.  As many of you know, the Mon Cty ARC does a ‘Black Box’ raffle 
at their monthly meetings. We never know all the contents of the box 
until the actual meeting date because members donate the items. While I 
doubt there will be a 991A or a 7300 in the box there have been tools, 
HTs, a dummy load, a practice keyer, books, even a bottle of whiskey 
(which BTW, was probably the most popular item ever) in it. The box 
contains _new and used items but no junk, or as Hams say, no ‘boat 
anchors’._ These are not Dollar Store items, it’s well worth the $5 per 
ticket. You can buy as many as you like and anyone can enter and win 
(unless another bottle of whiskey shows up. You’ll need to be 21 or give 
it to a friend if you win that). Drawing will be approximately 1700 
(that’s 5:00 PM for you civilian types).

If you happen to have anything (that is in good condition) lying around 
that you think will be useful to another Ham, feel free to add it to the 
box.

Hope to see you there.

BTW: we run 24 hours continuously. Feel free to bring a sleeping bag and 
spend the night.

*MWA and WVU Club members:*I don’t have a complete email list of your 
people. Please forward this to your members!!!

(Yes I know that some of us are on multiple lists and we’ll get this 
several times. That’s just part of the ‘fun’ of email 🤣)
