Field Day Stations locations.

 

开云体育

Evening everyone.

I have been working off list with the station owners to see what we can do
to make the best layout locations of all the stations. Just finished Today.

Everyone, Including the Station Owners, Please go to the web site

And navigate to the Positions Page. I have two tasks for you all.

Station Owners and the rest, look how we have the stations laid out at the site.
If you think there might be a better layout TELL ME!!!!? Now is when we want to make changes if any.
NOT on Field Day Weekend!!!

The other thing is OK we got Stations, locations, Now we need two more things!

More operators other than the stations owners! They can't sit there for more than 24 hours non-stop!
We need more Op's

And Bonus stuff.? Hardly anyone has come forward to say they will do any bonus points.

There is a LOT of them! 100 bonus points which is the value for most of the bonus items
is the same as making 100 phone contacts!!!! We earn say 3 of the bonus items thats like making 300 contacts!!!

Check out the bonus things and see if you can take any of them on!

Joe,
To be clear. I do not own a buddy pole. I have a 32' carbon mast that will be set in a hitch mount on the rear of my SUV (if I use that at all). If there is windy conditions, I won't be setting that up. I will most likely use my TDL antenna. The diagram doesn't have me in a place. All the big trailers are along the road on the picture and you are putting me south of the yellow line in taller grass but if it's not drivable that won't work. Maybe I need to locate my vehicle along the road as well. I have never been to this park, so have no idea what to expect. Also, where will the Porta potty be located? I may need to stumble to that at night. Thanks!

Hi Jude,

Ok will edit the Buddypole out. No Problem.
Yeah, below the yellow line in the past where it's looks like it's mowed is in past years very short.
not even ankle high. Only where when way down does it get taller.
Driveable, That's just one thing just like the VHF/UHF station and NQ9D also a tent person.
If it hasnt rained I don't see any problems driving out there.?
The only thing is we will need to see what it is like if it did or does rain,
and what the ground gets like? It being a ridgetop it could Be all rocky.
I know pounding in stakes or masts for verticals is HARD to do, the ground is very hard.
Just will have to check it out when we get there. Only thing is to "Drive" out there is a roundabout way.
Right next to the official Park along the main road it looks nice in the image
but it is a pretty nasty ditch, but the property owner said for anyone that wants to go south
to use his driveway to get out there like this. And the Porta Potty is where the Yellow X is.
