Field Day 2007 is tomorrow!
I really love Field Day. It’s like the perfect amateur radio event. You do, however, have to prepare for it. I actually work on it all year ’round, mostly finding and recruiting CW ops for the station I captain.
The week before the event, I start getting the equipment ready. I take antennas, radios, power supplies, etc. My philosophy is to take anything that might be useful. If it actually does get used, great. If not, well, that’s OK, too.
One thing that I think I’m going to bring this year is a first aid kit. Fortunately, we’ve never needed one, but you never know. Again, it’s better to have it and not use it than to need it and not have one handy.
Finally, take (and use) sun screen! You don’t want to get burnt.
