[SECC] Field Day

[Jeff Clarke]

Hi Greg...

 I have operated with K8MR/Mad River for the past 5 years or so. We have found using
a center fed zepp
for one station (40 only) and for station #2 (other bands) another zepp and maybe a
20 meter dipole has worked well for us. We have made it near the top just around
every year in 2A. We also had the "free" VHF station but it's only worth doing 6 and
2 meters. Nice thing about using wires is that when it's time to take everything down
you are done in an hour or less....

Lets start some  Field Day discussion...

As FD approaches,  what is a  "typical" antenna setups used by 2A FD groups. Assuming
1 CW station and 1 SSB station.

What are typical antenna setups used by bigger 3 and 4 A groups?

What is the most creative antenna setup you have seen at FD?

I am doing FD this year with the Decatur Amateur Radio Club and looking for new ideas
for antennas and supports to make the effort a bit better than it has been in the
past.  This is the DARC's 50th anniversary and I am going out to relive my "youth"
when the club used to put up pretty good number at FD.  I think we will be using
W4ATD in the 2A category.
