[LakelandARC] Field day preperation

Hi Becky,

I think that's a great idea.

I just looked up the price for a solar panel and it was about $320.00.

The specs are:

Specifications: 
- Operating Voltage: 15.4V 
- Operating Current: 1.2A 
- Weight: 1.9 lbs 
- Dimensions: 12" x 73"
- Warranty: 3 years 

Features: 
- High Durability 
- Marine grade rating 
-Lightweight

I'm sure we could do QRP Rigs with it and that might be fun..

I know I'm the new guy in town but those are my 2 cents worth.

Hello Ernie and everyone on the list!

As I read Ernie's notice to the group, I had an idea,  I realize it wouldn't
be feasible to implement the Field Day I have this year, however I thought
now would be an excellent time to begin planning how to implement it for
next year.

The idea (or perhaps question is more appropriate at this stage) is this:
In keeping with today's current social concerns about fuel, ecology, and the
costs of both, do you think it would be possible to plan and conduct a Field
Day that is mostly (if not wholly) based on "green" technologies like
photo-voltaic powersourcing and other alternative energies?

I know I don't have enough technical knowledge right now to know where to
even really begin, but starting now should definitely provide enough time to
plan an eco-centric Field Day event for next year.  I also think that
planning a "Green" Field Day event for next year could provide an added
incentive to local media outlets to cover the event as a local public
interest piece.

I would really like to receive feedback on this idea.  If you prefer to
provide feedback off-list, you can email at irish_empress at hotmail.com
(checked most frequently) or kf4txo at earthlink.net -- and I look forward to
hearing from you!

Best Regards,

Rebecca "Becky" Pirkle

Hello to all fellow radio enthusiasts. Some planning has already 
> started for our upcoming 2008 field day. Our next preparation 
session will 
> be two weeks from today, Sat. May 10th at 10:00 AM. The QTH for 
this 
> event will be outside of YNI's shack at 5315 Greenfield Rd. We 
will be 
> building a couple more antennas and getting input from each person 
as to 
> what they will be able to do this year. We are only nine weeks away 
from 
> our big annual event and with enough help we can get everything 
done with 
> ease. Our frequency capabilities will be greater this year and most 
> everything from last year is ready to go again. Field day 2007 was 
most 
> likely the best one ever for LARC, and with help from YOU, this 
year's 
> event will be even better.
>
> One thing that everyone is capable of doing is inviting friends 
and 
> acquaintances to the event. We will have a GOTA station set up so 
that 
> anyone can come in and make contacts to see if they might like the 
hobby. 
> We especially need younger folks. They can really help us score 
more 
> points and are sometimes easily impressed.
>
> Please plan to come with your thoughts, ideas, suggestions and a 
chair.
