7. Field Day
KD8KBU gave the report on our claimed score and QSOs which can be found at http://k8bxq.org/fieldday
There was discussion on ways to improve Field Day which includes having multiple club members trained on major systems setup, like the pneumatic mast and generator systems.
For all of the folks that asked, we really had not heard from any of the event coordinators that our help was needed at the festival this year, until today.
As before, the Delta Police Department has requested assistance with traffic barricades during the Parade and really appreciates having the extra coverage at the intersections around Delta. The parade starts around 2:00pm and runs an hour or so at the most. Plan on meeting need the main concessions area 1:00pm for assignments. If you have the time to assist with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me back at kd8kbu@arrl.net if you think you can help out with the Parade route.
I know this is short notice, but due to a change in the event coordinators this year, no one knew how to get a hold of us or request help.
Regards,
Craig - KD8KBU
