- The plan is to have the trailer set up with 4 workstations and the mini-split (that means air conditioning people!).
- The callsign we will be using is a 1x1 - W4F
- The location is Little Tallapoosa Park Equestrian Camping area off Hwy 113, Carrollton, GA
- If we receive permission, the plan is to set up the trailer at the campsite on Friday afternoon/evening, get antennas up, and laptops networked. Notifications will go out via email and the nets as we will need all the assistance we can get.
- Arrival time on Saturday morning will be based on the happenings of Friday evening.
- The actual field day schedule is currently:
- Saturday 12:00 noon - Hot dog lunch. Sign up sheet to be posted and link will be sent. Items needed include anything that goes with a hot dog lunch. Buns, chips, cheese, chili, assorted drinks, and of course dessert.
- Saturday 1:00 p.m. there will be a walking Fox Hunt in the park. I plan for this to be no joke, so bring your best game!
- Saturday 2:00 p.m. - Field Day contacts begin.
- Saturday 3:00 p.m. - WX4BK will be giving a demonstration on the use of Winlink over HF. While we had a workshop this past spring on winlink, there were many who still wonder about its uses and just basically how it works.
- Saturday evening - Chip in for wings/pizza/etc....
- Sunday morning - 8:00 a.m. - Cheese Eggs and Bacon (maybe some coffee?)
- Sunday takedown - weather permitting begin tear-down at 1 p.m.. All operating ceases at 2:00 p.m..
- Remember - unlicensed people can operate under the guidance of a control operator. There will also be a GOTA (Get on the Air) station manned by a coach for anyone interested in the hobby, newly licensed hams, or inactive hams.
Location Little Tallapoosa Park, Carrollton, GA
