Just got back from the local ham radio club's May meeting. Field Day
planning was a big subject on the agenda. Looks like our group will be using the same location as last year, with several HF and one or two VHF/UHF stations. We're considering a GOTA station as well. Need to get my FD antennas, ropes, coax, extension cords and slingshot launcher checked out and ready to go. Also some interconnect cables, the ethernet switch and of course decide which keys to bring. Anybody else planning to go out on FD this year? 73 de Jim, N2EY |

![]() Anybody else planning to go out on FD this year? 73 de Jim, N2EY Look for W0VDX. ( See http://lvdxa.org/ ) Weather permitting we will operate afloat on Wakemup Bay.

Anybody else planning to go out on FD this year? We're going to do a fair sized effort again under W3YA. It will be high power, probably 3 stations. I have to confess though, I would really like to get back to a low power setup. By the time we put up and take down 3 portable towers, a couple beams - especially the 40 meter, and the wire antennas for the lower bands, we are pretty beat up Sunday afternoon. Best field day I ever had was with a low power effort, two stations, two OCF dipoles, and some quick setup shelters. We got as many points as the high power efforts, and it only took a half hour to tear down, vs 4 for the big gun setup. I'm going to have to try to talk them into that next year. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
