This weekend is Field Day and I want remind everyone of the changes this
year.  This year we will again be joining forces with the Hannibal club in
Hannibal. The location is the Marion County Ambulance District
administrative office, 142 Jaycee Drive. To get there from the north, head
south on us 61 turn right onto Clinic Road (just past Wendy's), head up the
hill and turn right on Communication Drive, go just a hundred feet or so and
take a right onto Jaycee Drive. The Field Day site will be at the end of the
road on the right. For a visible reference, there is a cell tower almost
straight across the street from the site.

Set up begins at 8:00 AM, operation starts at 1:00 PM, a carry in meal will
be held at 6:30 PM. If you come for the meal, the folks at Hannibal are
grilling pork chops, hamburgers, hot dogs, condiments and they will have
some drinks and disposable table service available. You need to bring a
covered dish or two to share and your own table service, if you don't want
to use plasticware. I think I heard breakfast will be provided on Sunday
morning for those that slugged it out through the wee hours of the morning.
Tear down will start about 1:00 PM Sunday.

Please plan on coming down for some part of the weekend, we don't want to
leave the Hannibal members to do all the work. If you can manage it, please
plan on staying all night, operators get very scarce between midnight and
7:00 Sunday morning.

We have a few things from our club station we need someone to pick up and
take to Hannibal for setup; a few lengths of coax, our bandpass filters and
maybe even our Icom radio, headset, footswitch and power supply. If you are
willing to grab these items, please let me know.

See you this weekend.
