I am strictly a CW op, but in a pinch, will give SSB a try if we do not have enough ops and the CW bands get slow. I'll bring my K3, (it does not have a mic), an Astron 35M power supply, my paddles and headphones. I'll also get together some extension cords and a power strip or two. The majority of my equipment is back at the primary QTH in Ohio, so I do not have any access to coax, antennas, etc. I plan on being therefor setup, the whole length of operating time, and then help tear down. God Lord willing my old body will hold out!! 73 de Jim - KE8G ---- Allen Brier N5XZ via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > > > I would like all those who plan to participate in Field Day this year > contact me via email.
