Re: [App_rpt-users] Just curious - Field day related
Scott we are talking Saturday correct... Field day starts at 2p on Sat if I remember right... this from the arrl site " Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June, beginning at 1800 UTC Saturday and running through 2059 UTC Sunday. Field Day 2012 will be held June 23-24, 2012." so doing it at 1600 eastern would be a good time I think that would be 2 hours after the start if everyone remembers... maybe it makes sense to connect earlier that the 2p eastern start? Just kicking it around. As to the WINS or the WAN-RS, they do have a bunch of connections, but I'm thinking... like a 100 or more :).... Course I don't know how wide of a net this list covers for node owners... :) Just thinking out loud.

It doesn't matter to me what time. I just figured there should be a "meeting time" rather than just leaving it to chance. My thoughts on 4PM eastern were this: By two hours into Field Day it might provide some relief to those operators that had been sitting in front of a radio with headphones on for those two hours. (numb a$$ relief!!) Scott Scott Zimmerman Amateur Radio Call N3XCC 474 Barnett Road Boswell, PA 15531 On 6/21/2012 9:34 PM, Alan Adamson wrote:

Another place you can connect for field day activities is the Handiham Echolink conference at node number 494492. Matt Roberts n9gmr@me.com Sent from my iPhone On Jun 21, 2012, at 9:34 PM, Alan Adamson <adamson_alan@hotmail.com> wrote:
