Field Day Preparations Continue...

The preparations continue for Field Day.  This year we are travelling 90 minutes west to Grafton, Ontario, to a site we have used before, when our normal site was underwater a few years ago.

The back of my van currently looks like a cross between a Radio Shack Warehouse and a Camping Store.  There is gear everywhere!!  I didn't realize that I owned so much equipment.  

The weather forecast so far is calling for no rain, and hopefully the propagation Gods smile upon us both days, although it looks like we may have a rough start on Saturday according to Space Weather. 

Don VE3MNE, and I are heading out Friday afternoon to get the camp set up and to try and figure out where we can site and hang our antennas.  This year we plan on operating as a 3A station, made up of a SSB station, a CW, and a digital Station.

The antenna line-up, so far, is a 20m/40m linked dipole dipole, and several EFHW verticals for different bands.  Friday evening and Saturday morning will be spent getting these antennas in the air and checked out....and perhaps making a few POTA contacts.  

Stay Safe Out There!!
