ARRL 10 METER CONTEST

[K1RCT]

Just an update:

Rich WA1TRY will be at The Club Friday afternoon just after 12:00PM to start the setup process.
Both Rich & I went there last night to 'scout' an Operating Position, check the gear and do some preliminary checks on the Laptop. All look good. We removed the Rack Mounting Hardware from The Amplifier so it's not so easy to cut yourself.

There are two possibilities for Operating Positions:
A) In the Kitchen.
B) In the Garage.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Please consider posting your suggestions here and coming up Friday afternoon to help setup and give your thoughts.

I have The Laptop and The Hotspot. I will visit T-Mobile tonight before the Banquet and get the Account up to date.

Rich has what I think is a good idea: to assemble the Antennae inside The Garage then move them to the Tripods outside through the overhead door. Since John N1GNV is bringing an Electronic Antenna Switch, we can use one main feedline through the access port next to the back door. Saves wear & tear on the cable and eases setup/takedown.
