2013 Field Day Information

Field Day is fast approaching and we hope you’ll participate! Our goal is to have a successful (and fun) 24-hour exercise to practice our ability to operate under ‘adverse’ conditions. We will meet next Saturday morning at 9:00 at the top of the ski hill, 15 Janey Avenue, for a briefing before we begin setting up. The actual field day exercise begins at 2 p.m. Saturday and runs until 2 p.m. Sunday. Officials have been invited to drop in between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday. We will have two stations in place, and are looking for people to take two-hour shifts. The following are suggestions on what to bring:
• HT Radio FM Simplex 147.450 no tone (Local chat at the site. Please program radios prior to event.)
• Appropriate clothing for rain or sun
• Lawn chair
• Bug dope
• Personal hygiene kit (including any required medications)
• Travel mug
• Plate and cutlery (if staying for meals)
Speaking of meals, our famous chef, Bill, is looking for a rough idea of how many people will be there for meals, and especially how many people plan to eat supper on Saturday. Please email him at ve3tgi@gmail.com to let him know.
