[List at K4FAU.org] K4FAU Field Day planning

[Willem Van Dam]

Hi All,

We need to start planning Field Day....

We will be in Parking Garage II, where we used to be in previous years.
Because BRARA is doing Field Day at their new Shack we will have a lot less people at our FD.
Therefor we will keep it small and run as 2A. This means 2 transmitters and probably no GOTA station to focus on the 2 run stations.

Ron has arranged the Boca Fire Department comms van.
Just as a reminder because people have seem to have forgotten this......we need to be able to tear down the van and have it available to Boca FD in under 20 minutes if there is an emergency where they need the van.

Field Day setup will start at 8:30 AM June 25th at the parking garage.

What we need is people, food and equipment (in that order...).

People:
If you intend on joining us please let me know so we can plan for food and drinks.

Food:
My initial plan is to BBQ for dinner on Saturday. John KE4IDW, can you make your famous beans?
Any suggestions for Saturday lunch, Sunday Breakfast and Sunday lunch (during tear down)?
Needs:

-          Food (based on suggested menu)

-          Coolers

-          Ice

-          Drinks

-          Snacks (especially for the midnight crew)

Equipment:
Our most urgent need is for a generator. Anybody can bring their generator?
Current equipment list:
Radio setup 1 - Lew K4LEW in garage

-          FT-897

-          TS-60 (6M)

-          Lew's antennas
Radio Setup 2 - Ron W2DO in comms van (making assumptions here.....)

-          IC-746 ?? Ron's radio

-          Antenna from the van
Logging

-          Sjaak 2 laptops and interface for FT-897 and possibly Icom.


I'm sure I'm missing a lot here....... Please make suggestions.

Thanks,

Sjaak
