For Field Day, I plan to use my FT-891 with FC-50 tuner, 100 watts, SSB, with a Chameleon Tactical Delta Loop (mostly 10M, 15M, 20M, 40M) and/or a 20M bipole on a 32' vertical carbon mast. Power off of a solar battery. I will SUV/ tent camp.? Let me know what else you need to know about my set-up for FD planning.

I took up ham radio in March 2023 and have done 2 previous summer FDs with members of WARC. I live just outside of Watertown, WI.

2025 Field Day 4 All! UP-Date
Hi Everyone!
???? OK, Field Day may seem like a far far off thing on this snowy
day. But it really is not.
We REALLY need to have people come forward and tell us what they
want to do. As soon as Possible!
We have a LOT to organize so issues of the past do NOT happen with
this multi-club effort.
Spread this E-Mail to your clubs members!
???? All are welcome. As long as we organize it ahead of time. IT
DOES MATTER!
I mean we have the Room. numbers are not an issue. I mean every
club has to abide by the same Rules.
And if some clubs can have 18 stations...
 There is no
reason we can't have say 5 or more. It CAN be done! BUT!
It needs to be planned for. People can't just show up at 1 PM on
Saturday ,, set up,, and start Operating.
That does not work!? If planned ahead of time, I have been at
Field Days, where there was 6 yes SIX
stations running on ONE BAND!
At the same time! Yet there was no interference
between any of them! If Planned ahead! Even at one of the YTARC
FD's
with the ahead of FD planning a FT-8 station and the CW station,
was able to be on the same band at the same time,
and even be as close as 5 Kc apart from each other and have no
interference issues! But for this to work
it MUST be planned for ahead of Field Day!
I know this E-Mail may have a NON-Inviting tone to it. But that is
NOT it's intention!
This E-Mail is intended so everyone has the best possible Field
Day experience possible!
And to stop preventable issues from happening because of poor
planning.
Some stuff is super simple but has a HUGE effect of the days
success! Yet can easily happen and make FD not fun for many!
Something as simple as the Public Information Table that is manned
with a Meet & Greet person.
I have heard from both the general public and even other actual
Hams,
That show up, and felt actually like they are not welcome. Totally
ignored.
They wander around and not one person says anything to them.
Hey this good Public Relations thing not only gives a good
impression of the group,
but HEY! We get a bunch of bonus points for Field Day for having
it too!
The "Not Welcome" I have heard in other ways also. Someone
arrives, and is willing to join the effort,
but gets the impression from those already there, that there is no
room in the inn for them
to set up and start making contacts. So after a hour or so they
leave!
This "Not Welcome" feeling or the being Ignored is in-excusable!
It should never ever happen.
Who wants to help set up a Public Information Table,
and keep an eye on it for when Visitors arrive they can go and
"Meet & Greet" them?
Stations....
We need to know who is wanting to set up a station! YES all are
welcome! For Sure! BUT,
we need to know who you are and details on what you want to do as
far as modes, powers, antennas, etc.
These details MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!
On if FD is a success or a total bummer making people not want to
do it and even go home!
Yes all are welcome, BUT it must be planned! In the past we have
had a station that was invited,
but we never heard back if they were coming or not to just show up
and set up and start operating!
Problem was there was no logic on where he should set up. he just
did. And in doing so,
he ended up causing terrible interference to three other already
there and operating stations,
soo bad that two stations just gave up and started chatting with
other people on the site.
and one packed up and went home!
So if you want to set up a station we need to know who you are as
soon as possible!
So we can figure out the best possible layout location of each
station to minimize the interference possibilities.
Bonus Points!
Man these are free and some have little to no work involved! but
can add GIANT points to the final FD Score!
Like something as simple as that Public information table, That
alone is equivalent of a Phone station making 100 Contacts!
Solar Powered Contacts? make only 5 powered by say solar and again
100 Phone contacts equivalent Points!
Know some "Official" type of person?? We can get 200 Phone
contacts equivalent points for one of these folk visiting the FD
site!
?Site Visitation by an elected governmental official:
One (1) 100-point bonus may be claimed if your Field Day site
is visited by an elected government official as the result of an
invitation issued by your group.
Site Visitation by a representative of an agency:
One (1) 100-point bonus may be claimed if your Field Day site
is visited by a representative of an agency served by ARES in your
local community (American Red Cross, Salvation Army,
local Emergency Management, law enforcement, etc.) as the result
of an invitation issued by your group.
Should be easy points!!!
GOTA Station.
This one is HUGE this year, they changed how the rules are and
points are given, this GOTA station can easily out scrore
two other regular stations!? Who wants to be the GOTA Station!
Anyway, go to the site? ? And take the
link to the Driftless Fied day.
Learn all about the FD site and sign up for the groups.io e mail
system,
we have 18 in there right now. Pretty soon that groups.io e mail
system will be the only way we all will communicate
with eachother organizing this adventure!
Then go to the "positions" link and see if there are any bonus
things you would like to provide to the effort.
Of course stations we NEED to know who wants to set up a station.
ALSO!!! very Important,OPERATORS!!!!! we always need anyone that
wants to get on the air!
Even if you don't have? station to set up WE NEED YOU! to help get
on the air and make contacts!
Few if any can sit and make contacts non-stop for the full 24
hours and will need to take breaks.
But was want the stations to keep running and keep making
contacts!
So anyone come on out we need you to help keep the stations
running!
But let us know if you are one of these people!
So NOW go to the web pages.
tell us if you want to set up a station
tell us if you can help operate the stations
?tell us if you can do whatever bonus pooints things
Hams are "Communicators"
Lets COMMUNICATE and tell us what you want or can do for this
first time ever effort!
There is a LOT to cover and decide on BEFORE
FIELD DAY!!!

We Are Up To 17 Right Now.
This is great!
Lets start to see who all is interested or wanting to do what?
As far as people wanting to set up actual stations we have three
A Phone Station,
A FT-8/4 Station that may also do Phone
A Station that Says FT-8/4 but on 10 meters only.
Who else wants to set up a station?
Who wants to get on the air and make contacts for the effort, but
can't or won't be setting up a station.
Bonus Points!? Man BONUS points are incredibly HUGE!
If we get every Bonus point available, They can even end up
doubling our score!
Go to the web site
Summary of the site,
And at the bottom is a Link to "Positions"? here you will see all
the possible Bonus points that can be earned!
As soon as the official 2025 rules are published I'll add an link
to them,
but for now the 2024 will serve the purpose describing in detail
what each bonus point is.
Lets get some folk signed up to get these things!

Interesting Antenna. I wonder how cheap someone could make it if ya made your own chokes and baluns,
or I should say UN/UN's.

Re: Planning Has Started!
I wonder what the difference is, they
mention that far end from the UN/UN,
it says it can be as seen in the pictures a hanging length of
wire. OR just keep going straight as the main wire.
I would think myself that continuing would be better.
How does that one lady have hers? with the hanging end or straight
out?
