Well here we are....IT'S FIEEELLD DAY!
Hope those of you going out "To the Field", have a safe and certainly Enjoyable time.
I am ready to install the temporary antennas for...
The "Back Yard" FD...(I've got almost 2ac.)...
10m...1/2 w GP....should be up at 20ft+/-
Still need to finish some solder connections on the horivertical "Lazy H" I'll have it up as an Inverted V/depends on the trees I use....(40-6m) w/tuner....
maybe a 20m 1/4 w GP...
This will depend on timewise how long the Lazy H takes to get going...
I do have to drop my "Backfire" phased dipoles for 75m to make room for that one....

Everyone ENJOY...try to help out in the "set-up" anyway you can...
Field Day does have a purpose....
You might just be surprised what you learn...(I certainly picked up a "few" things over the years)
All the Best
Look for you'al "In the Air"
