Fw: ARRL FD 2021 Entry - K6RFC
I used my club callsign, K6RFC, while at home on Saturday, using N1MM as
my logger.? Made 141 QSOs and listed my club submission as GVARC/SBCARA,
when I submitted my score to the ARRL website, so hopefully it will count for
our club total.
Tnx and 73,
Jim? W6SC

Field Day ... throwing in the towel
Hi all,
? ? ?This has been a giant nightmare.? From mysterious things that come and go,
to usual setup problems, I'm done with N3FJP.? It took nearly three hours to figure
out how to get their SW to run my rig and its microKeyer 2 interface.? The final blow?
was when I could?no longer connect to my radio with their software, after having it work?
fine for?a few hours.? If you look at my stats
on the club compilation site, you'll see my
frequency as 0.0000.? Yeah, right.? Back to N1MM so I can have some FD fun.? Good luck y'all!
73,
Jim W6SC

Re: Field Day Prep, Notes, and Other Stuff
Looks Great Ray! ? As PAARA isn’t doing our usual massive FD effort in Menlo Park, I’ll be down here, expecting to work from home.? If you could use an experienced setup hand, let me know. I’d like to get home for something close to the opening bell, but put me to work in the morning wherever I can help.?

For Field Day 2021: ·???????? Class D stations may work all other Field Day stations, including other Class D stations, for points. This year, however, Class D and Class E stations will be limited to 150 W PEP output. ·???????? An aggregate club score will be published — just as it was done last year.

Greetings GVARC members and friends!
We have been approved to use a portion of Christmas Hill Park (the Ranch Site near the old barn) for Field Day 2021.? Our plan for this year is to have a COVID-19
compliant, austere operation.? We will not have access to the TEEC Building this year (it is a temporary Gilroy Fire Station), so we will operate “in the rough” in the dirt area behind the barn and parking lot on the Ranch Site.
Currently, we plan on setting up at 0800 hours and operating the following stations from 1100 hours (official Field Day start time) to around 2000 hours:
15 meter phone (Sam AI6OG) and digital (Sam AI6OG, unless someone else wants to work digital on their own station!)
20 meter phone (Ray N6DZK) and digital (Brian K6GAN)
40 meter phone (Jack W6KRK) and Tim (W6TST) and digital __(tbd)__
You are welcome to set up a station on 10 or 80 meters phone/digital, or 40 meter digital.? You will need to supply all your own equipment, laptop (for scoring),
antenna, cables, and power. You can also offer to assist with one of the current planned stations.? We will not have access to AC power mains; for this Field Day we are operating on battery/solar emergency power. Antennas will likely not be elaborate, expect
to see several Wolf River Coils or similar.
We will not be providing food.? If you plan to participate or visit, you will need to bring your own water/beverages and food/snacks.? Porta potties are available
nearby, or you can visit the park facilities on the Park Side (approx. 1,400 feet away). We will also need to follow all current COVID-19 guidance from the State and Santa Clara County, whatever that guidance may be after the planned State opening date of
June 15th. For now, this means face masks, distancing, and sanitizer.
If you intend to participate or visit, please respond to Heatherly (N6HKT) at:

Antennas will likely not be elaborate, expect to see several Wolf River Coils or similar. We will not be providing food.? If you plan to participate or visit, you will need to bring your own water/beverages and food/snacks.? Porta potties are available nearby, or you can visit the park facilities on the Park Side (approx. 1,400 feet away). We will also need to follow all current COVID-19 guidance from the State and Santa Clara County, whatever that guidance may be after the planned State opening date of June 15th. For now, this means face masks, distancing, and sanitizer. If you intend to participate or visit, please respond to Heatherly (N6HKT) at: heatherly@.... Thanks and regards, Sam, Ray, Tim, Heatherly and Jack ?

Re: GVARC Monthly Virtual Breakfast 5/29 @ 9 AM!
Hi Sam,
I am traveling in Annapolis this Saturday and will not be at the breakfast. However, I wanted you to know that I am available for whatever you need for help at the Garlic Festival. Also I'll have to check, but I'm not sure my dues check ever cleared that I wrote in January?? It was sent to the PO Box.
Thank you,
Stephanie
