No. The satellite is basically a repeater in orbit.Sent from my Verizon Motorola DroidOn Jun 21, 2019 3:34 PM, Jeff Greer via BVARC  wrote:

Jeff,

 

If you are talking about Saturday morning only, that will not work since the event does not start until 1 pm Saturday. Sunday morning would be the only time that would work.

 

However, we also have to coordinate operation between the other VHF station (6 meters) since we can only operate one station at a time.


 

So if you want to bring something bring it on out. We can make it work.

2 meters has been open every morning for the past week if not more.



 



If I brought a temporary mast and a 2m ssb setup, would that add to field day? It would only be open for a few hours Saturday morning. My dad was working people with about 5 watts yesterday
 (transverter only), as he forgot to turn on the amp. lol. I believe a few hours in the morning would generate some contacts.

 2 meters has been open every morning for the past week if not more.
If I brought a temporary mast and a 2m ssb setup, would that add to field day? 
It would only be open for a few hours Saturday morning. My dad was working
