[VA3-GUF-Frank]

To all,

You are invited join the GBARC Field Day on Saturday Jan 24th till Sunday Jan 25th to at our QTH.  Official Field Day starts at 1600hrs UTC (or 1100hrs local time) at 758240 Girl Guide Rd in Georgian Bluffs on the North side of Owen Sound. Winter Field Day runs thru the night till 1700hrs Sunday Jan 25th.  We will be operating the CLUB radio or radios if one extra becomes available with 12VDC batteries for the duration of Field Day.

Come join us.  Help set up before the official Field Day start or just arrive and operate the radio on HF.  We also spend time just chatting with those that are present so all are welcome to just chat if you do not wish to get on the air.  Bring a folding chair for your personal use and any munchies or beverages of your choice and stay a while.  We will answer any and all questions.  A crock-pot meal will be available at supper time for those that are present and will be on a first come first served basis.  Get some before it runs out.

For those of you that are determined/interested to get on the air during Field Day, let me know your preferred time and how long you wish to operate in hours to reserve your time slot.  For your time reservation I can be reached at;

        va3-guf@outlook.com

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Hey Frank I presume we're still going after this. I have to wait and see if I can get out tomorrow. We couldn't get out today until my neighbour hooked up the ATV snowblower and cleared the road. When I came back an hour later we had 1 ft drifts already. I tell you this cause a) he needs to clear the road in the am, 2) he needs to clear it again for me to get back. We need to see how the wind is tomorrow then decide if I can come. I know no biggie to the group but I wanted to let you know. These winds are wicked.

PS I registered us since it didn't look like we had been. under VE3OSR, with Franks QTH coords, rules say if the majority are inside then we need to consistently use the H designator, so if there's 4 operating we respond 4H ONS, noted that signal reports are not mandatory.

If I can get there I'm going to try and set up my vertical outside and run a cable in, might have to blow torch a small circle to get my vertical mount in.

I am thinking of coming this afternoon, maybe between 2  and 3 pm. 
Frank should post what is there for a radio, antenna and laptop. Perferably club equipment since is already setup for WFD just need to use the database from last year and change the location.
We should be able to use 1 I ONS since it is in the shed/garage. 
Look forward to hear from Frank.
