Field Day Preparation Underway

By Bob Wanek N2ESP on 06/07/2015

Field Day preparation by the Antenna, Radio and Computer teams took place on Saturday. In the photo below, John, KI4UIP, Hal, W1EES; Tom, NY4I; Dave, KR4U and Johnnie, W4TSP work on two HF radios.

Below, the CW station gets tweaked by Tom, W4CU and Ron, KP2N.

Below, Ron has identified a problem with the CW configuration.

We will be setting up antennas on Friday, June 26 at 10:00 AM. All help is appreciated. Field Day setup will begin at 9:00AM on Saturday, June 27th. Lunch for those arriving early and setting up the station will be around noon. The fun begins at 2:00PM.

Don’t forget to bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert and your headphones.
