Below is the Field Day signup link!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_CoLXpiWzGCTqBPevjCRejNDlf4T4hQYEWmW h2OI6AA/edit?usp=sharing Please let me know immediately if there are any problems signing on. Jimmy, Marty, Scott and Eddie, please post to your respective websites. Here are the rules: As the operator scheduling person for Field Day this year, I have decided to try something different. A link will be provided on both the BVARC and TDXS reflectors at 8pm Wednesday night. The rules are: 1. Operating slots will be 1 hour. 2. Operators will be able to select up to three (3) contiguous slots on the same band/mode. 3. Operators will be able to select up to six (6) slots per day, prior to The Event, providing Rule #2 is observed. This will allow for more operators to sign up in more slots. 4. Once a slot is selected, I will lock it in asap (no additional editing) unless an email is sent directly to me to delete it. 5. You must be at your assigned operating slot 15 minutes in advance, or it may be open to anyone else. 6. At the end of your assigned operating slot, please relinquish it to the next operator; if that operator does not show up, you may continue to operate. 7. If during your operating slot, you decide you want to quit, please try to find another operator to fill in the rest of the slot. 8. The online schedule will be closed Friday, June 22, 2018 at 4:00 pm CDT. 9. The online schedule will be printed out and brought to the Field Day site Saturday, June 23. Operators may choose any open slots by manually writing their call in that slot. 10. Any unclaimed operating slots after the start of Field Day will be open for grabs. 11. Any scheduling issues/questions will be settled by N5XZ or KD5FBA. In the interest of allowing all who wish to operate to do so, I think this is the best approach. Remember, if it is not your turn, there may be an open slot available elsewhere. I urge you to fill those in if you would still like to be active. I expect fewer open operating slots during the day and more at night. The goal also is to keep ALL stations operating continuously throughout the 24 hour period. (Note: if you have not tried RTTY contesting, it is a hoot! Just ask Glen or me to show you how easy it is!). Please feel free to operate multiple bands and modes. The ultimate goal is to keep ALL stations active throughout the full 24 hour period! Please respond to me alone (not to the group) and feel free to email or call me if you have any questions or concerns. Please cross-post this to distribution systems for KARS and Echo. Hopefully, this will also be posted in newsletters by all groups. This is the first time I have tried Google Sheets online, so hopefully there won't be any major glitches. Please let me know asap if there are. Note also that any changes and fixes will have to be done in the evening or weekends as I may not have access to the spreadsheet during weekdays. Allen R.
