If you are going to bring your radio and antenna to operate don’t forget:
Radio!
Power supply & AC extension cord(s). DC cable between the power supply and radio.
Microphone/key/computer for digital.
Headphones/headset.
Coax/Ladder Line/antenna feedline. It may be a long feedline run if you go out in the field to the west.
Antenna tuner (if needed for your antenna). Don’t forget the coax jumper from the tuner to your radio!!
Antenna & supports. There are not much in the way of trees to throw a wire antenna over.
The trees on the south side of the pavilion are next to high-voltage power lines! Can’t use those!!!
Table & chair(s), medium/low illumination lamp(s) for nighttime operation.
Fan, drinks, cup, snacks.
Set everything up on the table you are going to bring and make sure you have everything you need and that it all works before you get to Field Day ! ! !
If you need help or equipment let me or someone else know!
If you want to operate but don’t want to bring your own equipment just ask at any station. Most operators would love some relief! If you aren’t sure if you want to operate you can log contacts on the computer and observe what the operation is all about.
Should we rotate the bands every couple of hours to different stations?
