Subject: Field Day Plans?
From: "Ryan, KC8PMX" Date: 6/24/2004 11:20 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: Will be running KC8PMX on 50Mhz-450Mhz bands. I was thinking a shorter call would help, but I ran those phonetics thru my mind a couple times, and "PAPA MIKE X-RAY" seems to me to be rather prominent. Decided to run on my own as a matter of passive resistance to the local club's field day planner. Field day is supposed to be an emergency preparedness scenario, and there is nothing close to that from what I see of the plans locally here. How's that, Ryan...??? Too much of the picnic-in-the-park thing? Not sure which classification I will be running yet, but will be using 3 transmitters, on battery power, occasionally charged by a vehicle's electrical system, but the batteries won't be located in the vehicle. And I will be operating from our fire department's parking lot of which I am a member of. I had hoped to not be working this weekend, however I'm stuck. Quite a few years ago I had built a small wind generator and had it on the roof of the barracks I was in. It charged two marine (no pun intended) deep cycle trolling motor batteries and those in turn ran my ICOM IC-730. I ran it at 35-50 watts CW and I ran out beofre the batteries did! I've been wanting to build another, and perhaps I will before next Field Day. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
