[Mldxcc] Field Day Participation

[Jim Venneman]

Hi Folks,
   
  Well - it's been at least three weeks since the last club bulletin went out containing my message about Field Day. So far, I have only heard from two club members (and one was to let me know that he can't make it this year). We're not having a club meeting in April, so most all of the planning for FD this year is going to have to be squeezed into a very short time frame. 
   
  What am I saying? If you plan to be at FD this year - I need to hear from you soon. The number of participants will determine what class we can reasonably expect to enter. This has a major effect on the size of the setup required and the coordination needed.
   
  Here's another item. We have the option of operating from Jeff Stai's (WK6I) winery this year, which I believe is in Mokelumne Hill. At any rate - there is a big winery event happening on FD weekend, so operating from this location would give us quite a bit of public exposure. On the other hand - Peddler Hill is hard to beat. Let me know what you think about this option in your response.
   
  Thanks and 73s,
