[terry peterson]

Len... I have a 1500W mfj tuner which I am not currently using. It should d=
o the job for the 847.
With luck, any second rig may have one built in.

  Plans are moving along well for this year's Field Day.  8-) =


  As covered in a previous e-mail, the station with be a class 2A entry wit=
h an additional VHF station allowed per Field Day Rules <http://www.arrl.or=
g/contests/rules/2008/fd.html> .

  The station will be at the Winona Sportsmen's Club (see ARRL Field Day we=
bsite for map).  Set-up time is mid-morning Saturday, June 28 (approx 10:00=
 AM) and operation will be 1:00PM CDT Saturday to 1:00 PM Sunday, June 29.

  There will be a demonstration of Amateur TV courtesy of Russ N0QK.  We wi=
ll also devote one of the two HF stations to Get On The Air operations on S=
aturday afternoon.

  The Winona County Sheriff's Department is providing their mobile communic=
ations trailer with generator for the event.  Thanks to Sheriff Brand for t=
he support!

  The club has a rented port-a-potty lined up for Saturday night, but the S=
heriff has offered the use of the toilet in the communications trailer if t=
he club would empty and clean the unit after we are finished.  Would someon=
e (familiar with RV operations, perhaps) be willing to help with these resp=
onsibilities?  Any expense would be reimbursed.

  There will be the usual publicity through local media plus a special e-ma=
il promotion to elected government officials and service organizations we s=
upport (Red Cross, etc.).  A letter to recently-licensed hams inviting them=
 to the event is also planned.

  The club is trying to provide the general planning and support this year,=
 with individuals back filling the details.  Here are some of the major nee=
ded items.  Please respond via the reflector or direct to me if you can com=
mit to any of the following, KC0RSX at arrl.net :

   - Someone to coordinate logging and scoring.
   - Someone to coordinate Sunday breakfast.
   - Second HF transceiver.
   - HF dipole system (two desired--we already have a vertical Butternut of=
fered).
   - Someone to get gasoline for the generator (approx 10 gal.--reimbursed =
by the club)
   - Power supplies for the two HF rigs.
   - HF antenna tuner for an FT-847.

  Some additional notes:
   - At this time, we have one generator--the back-up/alternate power sourc=
es would be batteries or other sources provided by individuals, so bring yo=
ur individual batteries or other sources please.
   - Supper Saturday evening will be Dutch treat.  Someone usually makes a =
run for pizza.  Anyone with a different idea or offer, please let me know.
   - Bring your own sun shades, chairs, tents, sleeping bags.

  I plan to be available after net tonight for planning questions or resour=
ce offers on the 146.835 repeater.  We can work on planning some more at th=
e club monthly meeting on Thursday evening.

  72,
  Len KC0RSX
