Field Day 2008, June 28-29Field Day is always the 4th full weekend in June. |

| Due to the extreme fire danger plus non-availability of several key personnel, we have reluctantly decided to cancel our 2008 Field Day operation from Mt. Gleason. |
| At the suggestion of Mike Tope, some of us are planning a Field Day operation from Caltech in Class E. We will operate from the W6UE shack using emergency power and existing antennas. This gives us the opportunity to give the casual contesters some mentoring in contest-style operation as well as serious contesters a chance to make some good QSO runs. Number of simultaneous tarnsmitters is TBD. Six-meters and VHF/UHF are also available and we should have an interesting operation. |
| The crew plans to start setting up around 8AM on Saturday morning (6/28). Feel free to drop-by. There are no formal plans to provide food or beverages, but I will try to secure the key to the kitchen area so that those who are inclined can take advantage of the refrigerator and the nearby culinary resources. I believe the convenience store (aka "C-Store") in the nearby Chandler cafeteria (building 52) will be open over the weekend. http://dining.caltech.edu/c_store.html |
| Please note that after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends you can park in most spots at Caltech [except red zones, fire lanes, no parking zones, handicapped spaces, etc. http://parking.caltech.edu/regulations.html |
