FD: Im a new member and have a few questions about FD.
1. does each station bring along its on logging program or is there central logging? 2. 6m: I am interested in helping with the 6m station operation. Where would it be housed. What is the rig and antenna? 3. which bands and modes will the club be operating? 4. Do we have an emergency generator for the rigs or will we use commercial power? 5. I could also do some cw (use a bug, not a keyer.)
Im looking forward to seeing the Four Churches FD site and getting an idea of how you guys do things.Bob

Jack...I have a ten by ten quick pop up with one side cover. Also a big tarp for protecting two more sides if necessary. It big enough for one operating location. Ralph and I have the antennas covered I think. One inverted Vee for 80 on flag pole ( one we used before worked well) . One 160-6 meter OCD diplole also coming into main shelter for the two phone righs , and one hustler 40-10 m vertical which will be out by the RV hookups for the third (cw) station.. More antennas are cool backup ideas but dont go to extra effort. If anything we could use some kind of second antenna for the third (CW) station to use on 80 meters

Eldon, I have the FJP Software but we will need three computers. I like the idea of a portable shelter out away by the RV Hookup Area. Does any one have a Large tent? I have a 6 foot table or we could get an 8 Ft from our church if we have a big enough tent or RV Awning. I plan on bringing my car and it is equipt with 2, 6, 20, 15, 40 and 80 meter verticals which can be used as a back up or an alternate if we have a tent or an awning to put a Radio and tabels under.

Ok Eldon, W5UHQ Your keyer is a Bencher Right?
Does anyone have a grill that they can bring to the Field Day. The new one I have won't fit in our vehicles?
John, W8NM, DIRK Wiliamson passed his General so we don't have to set up a VE session for him for Field Day.

I intend on coming out, will not commit to bringing my rig, but I may be able to bring my FT450. My intent is to spend a lot of hours out, hopefully operating some and just having fun.

Hey Jack. Put me down for a shift on CW station. My new favorite mode. Also can do logging on cw if we have a laptop. I will bring my own key as used to it. Suggest other CW ops do the same. Eldon W5UHQ

Is anyone interested in setting up a fourth 6-2 meter station. It does not count toward our 3A count.

I will set up the N3FJP network logging software with two hard wire lans for shelter house and a wireless link for the remote station 3. So we can use two PCs/laptops with LAN connections and one with wireless. Eldon W5UHQ

I suggest we form teams for each of the three stations. Each team then could then do the planning for that rig. Ralph already has two antennas planned. One will be a 160-6 Off center fed dipole which will terminate in the shelter. Eldon has an 80 meter inverted vee which we used in the past suspended from the flag pole that rig could be in shelter as well. I suggest we we use a portable shelter for the third rig located down by the RV hook up area. That would provide a location for the 40-10 meter vertical and the third rig. That would allow some separation in case we end up working cw and ssb on same band. Lets start with rigs and let people sign up for helping set up one station. Eldon W5UHQ
I plan to bring the I-Com 706, Alinco power supply, MFJ tuner, 50ft coax, 40m dipole, dining canopy, bug spray, pen & paper for backup logging, pot luck. What have I forgotten?
We do need computers.
