That's a great idea. I think we can talk about the plans over lunch.

Jason,

I’m good for either date. Just let me know when and where (if not Buehler’s).

73 and Happy New Year!

All,

The Executive Committee has decided that our Field Day operation has lost its balance between an operating event and a social party - tilting far towards a social party. The ExComm wants to make Field Day an "operating first" event such that people show up to get on the air and we keep the radio's active.

Gary asked me to pull together a working group to address the following:

How do we improve our operating environment?

Different antenna setup
Multiple purpose-built antennas
Interesting things for people to "See" and "play with"
Easier field deployment - masts, etc.

What equipment does the club need to purchase?
Where do we hold Field Day based on #1? The Legion Hall has some challenges with where and how we can lay out antennas (the field behind the hall is actually part of the city park we're technically not authorized to use).

I've included you on this mailing list because you have historically been significantly involved and interested in SARA's Field Day operation. However, this most definitely a coalition of the willing. If you are not interested in participating, please let me know and I will remove you from the list, no cajoling involved. Similarly, if there's someone you think is missing, please let me know. However, I won't want to get too many people involved so we can be an agile group.

I'd like to do an initial meeting maybe Jan 13 or 14. I was thinking we could meet in the Community Room at the Buehlers in Wadsworth. If everyone was willing, we could even have lunch in the restaurant? But I don't want to impose a dining requirement. Please give me your thoughts on dates/times. I was thinking January 13^th at 11am?

Ron Stoller KB8LNK

Thanks,
