Allen, I understand that we are going to have some great stations setup this year. New antennas with great rigs and a resolve for being a real contender. Whats usually one of the best field day teams on the air could easily be looking at putting up a solid score that will get noticed by all. Filed day is a great event and a few good Hams could make all the difference.
Last year our setup was amazing and the team was outstanding. I got to operate on rigs that I can only drool over in the magazines .I wouldn't want to be someone that missed out of being part of a winning team. The N1MM loggers should be rolling in the contacts again this year and for me there is nothing like being in the middle of all the action. I love being a HAM and all the excitement of filed day. Once the antennas are high and we are all watching the clock for that magic hour for GO time. Even working through the night with the coffee flowing and keeping an eye of the scores just piling up. As Hams we should all love getting out of our shack and hanging out with the club on our special day. I am hoping over the next few weeks we can get some commitments to come and join in on all the fun. New Hams, experienced Hams, even non hams should take some time to come out and join in the fun. My daughter had a blast running the GOTA station last year. We will have CW, SSB, and digital stations all working. I am hoping we have some people chasing the Satellites. If you have never seen someone chases a contact on bird flying through space, then that alone would bring me out. Over the next few weeks we will be offering up some time slots. Some of the great slots will go fast and they will be first come first serve. I like the Grey line slots myself the bands seems to get interesting. I hope to see everyone come enjoy catching some great contacts, after all it's only once a year. Have Fun, Jeff KG5LRP [email protected] 281-901-0313 On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 6:37 PM, Allen Brier N5XZ <[email protected]> wrote: > *[I am resending this message in hopes that it for some reason did not get > out to you guys.
