feild day 2008

with my wife doing the Wisconsin RenFaire this she has thought oof doing FD from there

looking at the rules looks like she and here friend qualify for 1b making em likely kd8ctl 1B WIS

my wife will be oretaing mostly in the evening so I and wants to keep it very simple since it will be the first she wowill have set up wholely on her own

last she set up a staion for 20m but refused to turn it on till I checked it over. this time she is feeling a bit more confindent

since she is not going to be around I am thinking of staying home and operating 1d or 1 e ( i have droped a note to guys at the ARRL checking some thing on the 1 e that I think my grid intertie system allow for 1 e at 500 watts for me
