I’ve been so busy with Field Day preparations, that I haven’t had much time to blog. Here’s some of the things I’ve done so far:

• installed logging software on my laptop,
• installed the logging software on another laptop,
• checked out the keying cable with my IC-746PRO,
• built a satellite antenna for WB8COX, so that he could devote his time to fixing the repeater,
• e-mailed all the Ann Arbor city council to invite them out to the site,
• e-mailed the Ann Arbor police, fire, and emergency management people to invite them out to the site,
• e-mailed the Ann Arbor Township board to invite them out to the site,
• recruited a public information officer (PIO) for ARROW, who sent out a press release that’s going to result in an article on our Field Day operation, and
• a bunch of other little stuff.

It’s really shaping up to be a great Field Day. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun AND make a lot of contacts.
