Field day is right around the corner...what are your plans? I haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do this year, even though I've received a few invites. I might even keep it simple this year and do a back yard BBQ ;)

I will be participating with my local club RARC ( Reelfoot Amateur Radio Club). We will be running 100 watts. I hope 6 meters is open cause that is where I want to play this year. More than likely I will be doing some Rtty as well. And some gota coaching too I imagine. We are supposed to have some teenage boys and girls come and check it out too. I hope it happens we need some younger people to get involved and carry on.

I'll be helping set-up with GBARC then off to work for the afternoon, then back first thing in the morning. We'll be running 100 watts on 80/40/20/15/10/6 and about 300 watts on 2 all modes. This year we are active in trying to get new members so we are operating at the local Conservation Authority head office in attempts of drawing more interest.

I am with you on the bbq. I have no plans for FD other than hand out some points.
 
I just put together an MFJ-1790 portable vertical for 10 meters. l think I'm going to put it to use on FD in my back yard and see what it can do with an MFJ-9410X portable 10m transceiver.

Simple but the fun potential is big.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
