Field Day!
28-29 June - East Garland Park with GSARC
Due to a scheduling conflict with Bear River; field day has been moved to the East Garland park in...East Garland!
The park is located at the intersection of NE Garland Rd and 14400N
approximate address is 4400W 14400N
At this time we are in the process of arranging a potluck dinner for Saturday night at 6:00 PM, meal is yet to be determined.
This is a nice park with large open areas, shelter, bathrooms, and plenty of parking for campers in the lot.
As in years past this event runs from 12:00 on Saturday to 12:00 on Sunday, help for setup and takedown is greately appreciated. Setup will likely begin Saturday morning at 08:00. The plan right now is to deploy two 80M loops which will take some hands to do. Additional antennas to be supported by trees and other vertical poles.
We are still planning on operating four stations at this time.

Repeater Moved!
21 June
A work party convened around 0900 on the site to remove all of our equipment from the old building, move to the new building, assemble and install all new cable assemblies, install isolators and combiner, and get the thing back up.
The last members of this work party departed the site after midnight on Sunday morning in a blasting snow storm once the main repeater was up to satisfaction. Some equipment was taken off of the mountain to modify for compliance with BLM rules.
Further trips will be made on 25 June to reinstall the removed equipment and bring some added features back to the system. Labeling of new cables and a full checkout of tuning will be done on this day.
Bill/Tracy have made arrangements with "The Sign Man" to make custom badges with the club logo.
