Bryan (KB8ELG) spoke with the Delta PD today, and they requested help with a couple more events:
There are a few hours left in the 2019 ARRL Field Day Event, so stop reading this email and go work some stations! Or keep reading if you'd like. We had a fun time on on Saturday, running a 7A class and also trying to work a few satellites when the opportunity presented itself. There are still a few guys out at the woodlot making efforts to run until the 2pm end time. If you have no other plans for the day, please consider stopping out this afternoon to help with tear down.
Hi folks,
First and foremost, the Club Field Day web page can be found here:
Field Day 2019 is 23 days out and it's time to start thinking about club participation. We will be setting up at the Roth Family Woodlot in Tedrow/Wauseon again this year, and since we usually only run the 24 hour period, we can begin setup after 8:00pm on Thursday, June 20. Remember the event starts on Saturday, June 22 at 2:00pm.
If you are bringing your rig and are planning on running the full 24 hour contest, let us know what bands and modes you are capable of running (remember your license class restrictions, you can only run where you are licensed for). If you have a laptop for running the logging software please bring it along, along with your rig and antenna system. Make sure to bring plenty of power extension cords to tie into the generator, as well as plenty of antenna feed line so we are not setting up on top of each other.
On the note of laptops, we run a networked logging software which aids immensely in filing the report with the ARRL, as well as keeping track of who is running on the allowed bands and modes. This software will work with Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Please keep in mind we run 100 watts or less to stay in our category. If you are not planning on running the full length of contest, please note that in your reply. Consider sharing antenna/rig space with another participant that might also want to only run part of the time. Remember
that we are restricted to only three simultaneous modes on each band: CW, Digital, and Phone. All bands are open except 12, 17, 30, and 60.
If this is your first time running Field Day, or if you have been doing this for years, please take the time to read through the contest rules here:
As you may have heard, we have been asked to help with parking at the Swanton Fireworks on June 29th at 6:30. If we meet at the same place as last year, we will meet on the North side of the school at the visitor parking lot. We can do this easily with 4 to 6 people.
Since we have enough advance notice this year, I was thinking we could meet up an hour or so early and cook up some burgers and dogs and make this a fun club event and not just parking cars.
