[List at K4FAU.org] Field Day

[Willem Van Dam]

Hi All,


We finally received official permission to hold our Field Day on campus at Parking Garage II.

I now know what papers to fill out and who to ask so next year this should be easier!


First off thanks to Ron W2DO for taking the lead on securing Rehab 1 for us.

Rehab 1 is scheduled to arrive at the site around 9AM.


We will use this (9AM) as the kick-off of Field Day.


First I need some votes on what we will do:

- Are we going to run as 3A or 2A?


- GOTA station?

- Do we expect enough visitors to actually have a GOTA station?

- If yes, who will  be the control operator?


We will have one station in the van and 1 or 2 stations on the 4th floor of the parking garage.


Who brings what?


Van: (Boca Fire Department)

- Radio: W2DO (what model radio?)

- Antenna 80/40: long wire that is in the van

- Antenna 20/15/10: beam from T6

- Logging PC: W4RIS


1st HF in parking garage:

- Radio:

- Antenna 80/40:

- Antenna 20/15/10: K4LEW ??

- Logging PC: W4RIS


(optional) 2nd HF in parking garage:

- Radio:

- Antenna 20/15/10:

- Logging PC: W4RIS


Lew, will you be bringing a VHF (6/2) setup?


Generator(s):


I will take care of the logging laptops. For those of you who will provide radios please let me know the model number of the radio so I can try to setup RTTY and PSK on the logging laptops.


We will be using N1MM Logger+.

Below is a great video on how to use the software. Please take 17 minutes and have a look at the video before Field Day.

If you need to spend money (gas, food, drinks or supplies) please try to contact me before spending the money AND ALWAYS save the receipt!


Thanks,


Sjaak, W4RIS
