Reply To: 2023 Summer ARRL Field Day

    We wound up with a 10′ x 10′ pop-up canopy with clear plastic window walls on all sides for our operating area. You can see out and in fairly well, faces are a little out of phase looking as people walk by but it’s better than being closed up in an RV or a regular tent with little or no windows.

    If the picture looks confusing it is because we set the canopy up inside our driveway carport so you can’t see the top of the canopy.

    You can see the 12,000 BTU air conditioner on the floor on the far side of the canopy, hopefully it will keep us cool enough in the heat of the day.

    The red tent will give us some privacy and will be setup at night for us to sleep inside the air-conditioned canopy. We have a good quality REI camping air mattress and a queen size sleeping bag. The tent will be taken out during the day and extra chairs can be used for others to cool off.

    Looking forward to keeping cool again this year!
