Re: MBARC and WECG Joint Field Day

Hi Steve --
Thank you for taking this initiative. I'll be happy to help with some leg work for this Field Day effort. I hope that Blaine ACS will join your project rather than trying to do a separate Field Day.
I'm most pleased that the ARRL has initiated a June non-RTTY digital contest without a signal report exchange. The exchange will be call signs and 4-character Maidenhead grids. See: http://www.arrl.org/arrl-digital-contest
I'll probably use PSK31, since my Elecraft rigs makes that mode easy. I'll stick to the contest HF bands.
73,
Bruce Prior N7RR

This was discussed at the MBARC Board Meeting last night and I volunteered to put out this bulletin. We need some volunteers within MBARC to work with some members of WECG to plan out the details of the 2022 MBARC and WECG Field Day. Jim Blattner KC7JB has volunteered his QTH for Field Day (same as 2021). We need volunteers for these functions (and more that we didn't think of) * Organize equipment * Organize meals * Set up operating schedules * Set up shelter (tents, etc.) * Set up volunteers for setup and teardown MBARC owns an IC-735 HF radio, a 2 meter FM radio, and a 440 FM radio. I (Steve Stroh N8GNJ) volunteer to do outreach for this Field Day, reaching out to Whatcom County Media and groups that might be interested (such as TAG NW). I also committed the MBARC Digital Group to do a "field exercise" to work through the use of AREDN units to link the various laptop computers that will be used for coordinated logging at each station. If you're interested in helping with Field Day, please "self organize" using this list to advertise your interest in helping, and I'm sure there's enough cross-fertilization between MBARC members and WECG members that the two groups can also self-organize. Thanks, Steve Stroh N8GNJ for the MBARC Board. -- Steve Stroh N8GNJ (he / him / his) Editor Zero Retries Newsletter - https://zeroretries.substack.com Twitter - @zeroretries / https://twitter.com/zeroretries
