HFpack Special Schedule 22~24 JUNE 2001
HFpack invites FT-817 operators to join in the fun surrounding Field
Day with a special emphasis on QSOs with walking portable, pedestrian,
bicycle, low power mobile, and backpack portable stations. HFpack's
special operating schedule will be in effect 22~24 JUNE 2001.
Time: 30 minutes past each hour
Frequencies:
18157kHz USB (CW 18158) +/-5kHz
24977kHz USB (CW 24978) +/-5kHz
10137kHz CW or PSK31
Background:
Field Day is a great tradition that brings ham radio operators
together. Hams venture outdoors to set up portable stations. A high
degree of activity among single-operator battery powered lightweight
HF portable is expected this year, due to the recent popularity of the
FT-817 and other low power backpack transceivers. Some will be solo...
many of us will be out setting up for Field Day and participating in
larger club efforts for the event. HFpack recognizes the desire to
contact operators who are using similar gear and experience some of
the fun with them on the air. The HFpack special operating schedule
serves as a meeting place for those who want to share a QSO away from
the contest crowd or relax during a break in the action.
