Field Day
2008 Field
Day
This years Field Day will
be on June 28-29, 2008 and always the fourth full week
end in June. The Milford Club will be at the same site as last year, Dodge
Park #10, 1/4 mile South of Livingston Road, on the West side of Pettibone Lake
Road. Since it is a Michigan State Park, a daily entrance fee will be
needed, which might be refunded by the Field Day Chairman or the Executive
Board.
The things that recommended this site
were;
running water in the kitchenette, flush toilets, electricity in the
kitchenette for keeping the food warm, plenty of room and trees for antennas,
close to the level paved parking lot for the motor homes, and really beautiful
place to have Field Day.
We will met at the park on Friday,
June 27, to set up the antennas, and clean up the shelter. Then
we return Saturday morning to set up the stations.
Last year, 2007, we ran 3-A with a CW station, and
two SSB stations. It was a beautiful weekend, the weather was great, the food was outstanding, and
all the participants contributed to a real good time and a good score even
though a bit lower than previous years. WE ALL HAD A GREAT
TIME!

3-A
943 3292
Looks like we didn't get enough bonus points this year, guys. We didn't send or copy a message to the ARRL and our site was not visited by an elected official like last
year. Also, we didn't send the scores via the web (50 Points). That was
3 X 100
bonus points + 50 = 350 Points(?)!
WOW! That would have been close.
It was a very close contest, Milford, MI vs.
Milford, OH. We did had fun.
Let's
do it again next year.
