[W5SFA] Special Event Station 2016

[Roger Klein]

W5SFA Members,

 

Our second annual Special Event Station is scheduled for September 24-25,
2016 (Saturday and Sunday) during the Texas QSO Party.  We need to begin
planning the festivities.

 

Ron K1PEC and I visited the State Historic Site a few weeks ago to present
the $25 donation check from the club.  We also talked with the staff about
permission to operate there again for this year's event.  So we will be able
to operate both days at the SHS.  We'll be able to keep our equipment and
antennas set up on site over Saturday night if we wish.

 

The Texas QSO Party runs from 9 am to 9 pm Saturday, and 9 am - 6 pm on
Sunday, so we will have plenty of air time on the air.  If we are all
operating from one location, we'll be able to network the N3FJP logging
software to avoid duplicate contacts.  This will be tested during Field Day
in June.  Also, we can have one group working the Special Event Stations
while another group can work the QSO party and respond to calls.

 

The next step is to get an ad hoc planning committee together and work out
the details.  Let me know if you want to participate.

 

73,

 

Roger  N5RWK
