General Setup Notes: VHF and SSB-HF should be combined into the VHF Tent Food and Drink should be liberally available Commercial power for HF CW Tent Air Conditioning will be used. Setup of everything EXCEPT radio related gear will begin friday night Consumption of Food and Drink will begin Friday night, and end some time Sunday Even if it isn't listed here, bring it. It will probably be used! Even though the 'offishal' log will probably be generated from the computer logger/duper, initial 'real time' logging should be done by hand, and those sheets saved, sorry, I just don't trust computers! Air conditioning from the CW tent into the VHF/SSB Tent will be via Ductwork and a Fan. Fan power is TBD. | |||
