Field Day 2009/2010?

[Andy N1ORK]

Any one planning to operate Field Day this year?
I will be operating with our club W1BRS (Whiskey One Boston Red Sox).

I have the 10m staion and will be using my FT-847, FC-20 Tuner into a 10m di-pole strung from the trees.Plan to operate all 24hrs except for food and other neccecities. Hope to catch some of the ORR crew on the air. Let us know what call you will use and what band(s)

And I am going to a wedding. Should wipe out the entire weekend.

The only good news is it's on the coast and we are taking the trailer.
Oh yeah, my niece seems to be getting a really nice guy.

I will be operating the SSB and GOTA stations (part-time) at our club field day. Club call is W5NC. I was roped into being Field Day Coordinator. Trying to get everyone to help and get the equipment coordinated ...whew.

We are operating in emergency mode and our call will be

KK5K

No assignment for me due to health reasons but will try to run you down on 10m during the session.

Andy, Ken and Mike,

You guys log onto ORR during FD and leave us some freqs on this thread so we can try to give you a contact. If that possible from your locations.

Won't have WWW at the site, but I'll be on 10m 28.300 to 28.490 when I'm hunting, 28.420 +/- 10 when sitting. Field day call is W1BRS

OK Andy, I'll be listening for you. I think many times these bands, like 10 and 6 meters, are open or somewhat open, just no one calling. I tend to tune across the bands listening but hardly ever give a CQ call. I think many others do the same.

Good luck to all you guys with the Field Day activities.

Looks like I will be one of the "Generators" for my club's Field day since the Motor home can usually spare a few kilowatts

Good idea John. Gives you a nice place to relax as well.

We will be running class 2A, just a SSb and CW station both on beam antennas pointed tot he NE to start with. We will also have up a couple of wires to switch to at nightWe are 2A STX. The GOTA will probably be on a vertical antenna.

We will have to look for a frequency and want to sit and call. If that does not work, we'll go to search and pounce mode.

My cell is 713-302-9957. I'll be there during set up and head home about 1200 CST or 13oo hours and back at 1600 for the GOTA, then the SSB station for 1700 to 1900 CST and probably back on the GOTA at 1900 for an hour unless we get some last minute sign ups.

The bands have been nicer here lately. From Houston, I have made contacts on 17 and 20m to N, Ireland, Caracas, VZ, southern France and Hawaii. Also made contacts in Germany and Italy. Come on Sun Spots. Using the FT897D, AT200 Pro tuner and either the HF9V vertical or the Carolina Windom 80 Special antennas...on 100 watts.
