Welcome to CNHARC

 

Tuesday May 5th
Field Day planning meeting
7PM in Gilford, NH

Dinner Meetup Time: 6:00 pm – Gilford Village Store,  Belknap Mountain Rd. Gilford, NH 03249. (603) 528-1900

Meeting Time: 7:00 pm at the Gilford Public Library   31 Potter Hill Rd, Gilford, NH    603-524-6042

We will have a lot to go over and attendance either in person or via zoom is requested of all members.

Agenda:
1-  Nominating committee meeting to include all members.   Any member may self-nominate themselves for any position or the committee may ask others to become candidates.  Candidates need not be a ham with a lot of experience.  In fact a ham newbie can bring fresh perspectives.  Candidates need to be able to recognise opportunities, motivate others and have leadership skills, not technical skills.  This diverse committee will have contacts with many other members to suggest candidates for

• President   (not seeking re-election)
• Vice President  (not seeking re-election)
• Treasurer  (not seeking re-election)
• Board/Steering Committee 2-positions

Important!  A Board member is not a passive observer position but is expected to be a valued, proactive contributor… a super-active member of you will.

It is hoped that any member who wants to self nominate may do so at the meeting or via zoom.  The treasurer may be the most critical position to fill !

 

2- How to order club name badges on-line

 

3-  Jonathan Wixson, KB1COL (as usual when needed) has gratiously volunteered to chair the Field Day planning group.  He will also moderate this session.  This year will have some changes because KK1RZ will return from vacation the day before Field Day and WF1V and K1DLM may be in Europe!  That means that Dave’s radios, AC power, antennas and RF filters will not be available.  A significant amount of planning will revolve around who will bring what radios along with the required RFI filters especially if an IC-7300 is used.  Ditto with antennas because Dave’s Hexbeams will not be available.

This may become a more modest Field Day with individidual members contributing their own gear.  This may be a more accurate model of emergency commuications on the fly with POTA-type equipment.

– What bands will we use?
– Who will bring what radios with RFI bandpass filters
– Who will bring what antennas
– Who will bring the logging laptops (we provide the software licenses)
– Who will bring and prepare the all-important food???

As in the past, CNHARC Field Days will not be driven by maximizing contest points but by having fun, socializing and gaining new experiences.
