That post, although informative about the event, added nothing to my knowledge of OUR winter field day event.

Hi Jim,
This post is used as an "Anchor" for the posting on groups.io. This allows us a place to point emails and website information. We can stack up information, share ideas and divide the task... something like making a club sandwich...lol. The initial post is simply an announcement reminding the unfamiliar about the event, dates and times, providing an address and map, and linking anyone interested to the WFD rules. I apologize for not making the original post more clear. Hopefully, we can get more details out soon as we firm up the plans. 73, Doug KM4LKC

We've done a great job getting our equipment list together for Winter Field Day. Keep an eye out for a request for some supplies to help us with the event.
Now it's time to get our operating schedule organized. We will have two stations operating throughout the event. Ideally, we will have two operators on each radio. One person will handle the logging program and the other will operate the radio. Amateur radio operators will have the opportunity to work voice, digital, and CW if possible. If you are new to contesting, this is a great event to get some hands-on experience under the watchful eye of a more experienced operator. We plan to hold an introduction to the radio equipment and operating procedures at 1:00 pm on Saturday. The event goes live at 2:00 pm. We are looking for operators to sign up in four (4) hour time blocks. You will not work the radios for all four hours. We can take turns switching positions every hour or so. Please post here if you would like to volunteer for a time slot and let us know if you are new to contesting so we can pair you up with an experienced operator. Ideally, we will have eight (8) operators assigned to each time slot. There's plenty of room for operators. If you are a gluten for punishment, sign up for more than one slot. We always have room on the graveyard shifts.

My plan is to be on site from setup to tear down. No sense in me leaving. I plan on living in the RV when not schedule. Too far for me to travel back and forth.

What an outstanding job with the tower and beam for our field day events. You will not believe the job Chuck and Paul did on the project. The hubcaps are an especially nice touch...lol. The tower stands about 48 feet tall. The beam works 20, 15, and 10 meters. There is also a fan dipole for 80 and 40 meters.

We are still looking for operators that are relatively new to contesting for our 2-6 and 6-10 pm operating slots on Saturday, January 30th. This is a great chance to experience voice operations and the digital modes with an experienced operator as your backup. You can start by working at the logging station and then move to operating the radio as you build some experience
Several people have already signed up for operating and logging positions. We have room for eight (8) operator during each of the time slots. So don't be shy. Jump in and give us a hand running the contest. It will be a blast!

Let us know if you are bringing crock pots or other food and beverages to the Winter Field Day event.
I know a couple of people said they were bringing pots of chili, potato salad, coffee, and some cases of water. We want to make sure we have enough coolers and utensils, plates, bowls, and napkins. So far, the weather reports are looking nice. We will have fun!
