We will be operating July 4th locally at the Law Enforcement Center in Dickinson, ND.
Operating July 1-8 from 9AM MDT to 6PM MDT will be by sign up. You can find the link to sign up for events above.
Local Event July 4th:
The setup will be the same as the field day setup with an extra antenna and radio to cover all 3 bands during the event.
The locations of the antennas are on the plan map. The Buckmaster alternate will be used if we don't get permission for the dirt area to the east.
Several other antennas will be on site for use if we want.
The operating area will have the TRARC camper, another camper, and a covered shelter between them to operate under.
Feel free to bring your own radio/equipment.
Remote Operators:
Certificates for contacts will be available, links to be added later after they are set up so logging properly to confirm contacts is very important!
If you sign up but can't operate please contact admin@k0nd.org to clear out that block to allow someone else to operate, sooner is best.
Many logging softwares are available, or paper logs will work.
Minimum to log for the main setup is the Station Callsign (K0ND), Your Callsign, City, State, County, Country, and Gridsquare. If you need a Gridsquare lookup try here.
Minimum to log for each contact is the UTC Date, UTC Time, Callsign of the Station Worked, Band, Mode, RST Sent, and RST Recieved. Actual frequency used would be nice, but it will be assumed to be the frequency listed on ARRL for that band if not logged.
Logs should be sent in ADIF format. Paper logs can be scanned or photographed and sent by email.
Please email all logs to logs@k0nd.org
when you are complete with the subject line "Special Event Logs".
a sign up is available under Events. Please sign up for your block.
Instructions for exporting logs with logging software can be found here.
