Default Field Day?

Folks,

What are people doing for Field Day this year?

73 de Jim, N2EY



N8NN and I will be on the grounds of his place near Moundsville, WV.
The Class 1B operation will be mostly CW. We've geared up to snag
some of the bonus points. We'll be operating with my call.

We have a promise from a WV State Senator to visit. We'll have a
sign, table with literature on amateur radio and a visitors log.
We'll copy the annual FD message and pass a message via NTS.

It is highly likely that we'll have some hamburger prepared using
emergency methods (on a propane grill). My wife and I will sleep in
simulated emergency conditions in Bert's motor home. In an actual
emergency, we'd have to fire up the motor home's 10 KW diesel
generator. Radio power will come from a little 2 KW Honda gasoline
generator.

We'll skip the extra hours of operation and put up our antennas this
afternoon.

73,
