This will be my 2nd Field Day for my K2 #3421. This year I'm going to try my Commercial Buddipole (this time it is almost twice as long with three pairs of antenna arms and the 4 segment shock-corded whips). I'm also going to try throwing up a W3EDP (85' inverted L with 15' counterpoise) for the low bands and a compact transmitting loop (20' of 1/4" copper pre-tuned with matching coax stubs for 20m and 40m).
Complementing my K2's power needs are the internal KBT2, a 7 AH external gel-cell, and a small 5W solar panel. My question for all of you Field Day guru's... I'm closing on my first house today. None of these antennas exist at the house. If I set them all up in a temporary sort of way in the backyard and take them down after Field Day is done, can I still be considered 1B (especially if I decide to log with a laptop plugged into commercial mains, and maybe drag the K2 inside when it gets too hot outside)? The laptop won't be used for sending or receiving, just logging. No towers or masts exist at the new QTH. Thanks for your rule interpretations in advance... and enjoy Field Day! - Daniel / AA0NI Oklahoma City _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must subscribe to post.
