Everyone is welcome to come to field day, for an hour or two, a whole day, or the whole time. Come when you can, even if it is for just an hour.

The location for field day has changed and due to this Ted and Cordell are going up Tuesday to find a good spot and set up camp to reserve some area for us up Logan Canyon. It will probably be up near the roadsheds or summit area in Logan Canyon.
Friday night is spent having a good time talking, operating the radios, and learning. Saturday at noon the contest begins. We need radio operators and loggers. Come and have a good time at field day.

Static Test Firing
Submitted by N7UWX on Fri, 2009-03-27 11:06
Just a quick note. Paul Mueller just informed me there will be a test firing (not launch) this Saturday morning between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. at the old runway at Logan Airport. He will be watching the gate to let us in. If he doesn't see you, call his cell phone: 232-6889.
I plan to be there.
An additional note. The current target date for the test launch out in West Nowhere will be April 18. Yup, that's the day of our BARC club meeting with all the emergency communications sessions, etc.
There are alternate dates including: April 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26. He is concerned about the 11 or 12, since there may be problems revealed by the static firing. I guess this comes down to "choice between good things." I will try to keep informed and pass the information on.
