Reply To: 2023 Summer ARRL Field Day

Please tell me if you are going to operate Field Day with your own transmitter.

When we go on the air Saturday morning we will be stating our class and number of transmitters and our section. One recent year we were told we would have 4 stations (transmitters) however only 2 stations showed up. This crippled our number of points by putting us in a higher category because there is no provision for changing the number of transmitters after starting our Field Day operation.

So please let me know at least before we go on the air if you will be bringing and operating your own station.

And for those that just show up unannounced with their stuff you will have to get one of the other stations to go off the air before you can operate if your operation would put us over the number.

So far we will have:

Jim WA5QEC will bring his Yaesu and use the east parking lot dipole antenna.

Mark W5PTX will bring his FT-991A and his end-fed antenna.

Mel K5KEY will bring his HF radio and a vertical antenna.

Cindy KD5CCB/Charles WA5VHU will bring her IC-7300 and use the west parking lot dipole antenna.

Chris will bring her HF radio and use a TBD antenna.

This put us a 5 stations so far.
