I am starting to look over and make plans for Winter Field Day. My spot is reserved at Cooper Lake state park – Doctors Creek site 36. I had a few questions I wanted to ask about the rules.
Do we want to be mobile or indoor? I’ll set up outside, weather permitting, but then go into the RV after dark.
Bands for multiplies – I can do 40, 20, 15, 10, 2 and 70cm (I don’t expect any action on 2 or 70cm)
QSO points – I’m defiantly not doing CW, but I will hopefully try some other form of digital. (rtty or JS8call)
Power – I’ll be 100w
Alternative power – I will run of battery for as long as I can, but my generator doesn’t work to recharge the laptop battery. Might be hard for me to add to this objective.
We’ll be Away form home, so that one’s in the bag.
Deploy multiple antennas – I’ll set up a 40-10 ocf dipole and a 80-10 efhw. the efhw only does 30 watts though.
Winlink – I’ll have to sucker someone into returning an email, but i’ll be set up.
Operate 6 continuous hours – I can do this. And, keep the snacky snacks close.
That’s my questions and thoughts as I start getting my equipment ready. Looking forward to it, and hope the weather is decent!
