Who's going to operate and what class?
My club is going to run a site in Manassas (just off Rt28 if you care). I don't know what our class is going to be since I'm just an op, but I'll personally be running a solar powered QRP station. If you hear a weak signal calling "CQ Field Day CQ Field Day Whiskey Four Oskar Victor Hotel ", that'll probably be me. :D
My station: Yaesu FT-817nd with Collins SSB filter and W4RT DSP Mod, Emtech ZM-2 antenna tuner, Inverted-V antenna supported by an Army surplus portable mast. Battery is a 12v 1.3ah gel cell charged by a folding 15w solar panel.
In the past, and in a different Field Day site, I've used the same gear but with a 130ft ladder-line fed dipole. That has always performed well, but I want to try something portable that also doesn't require anything I couldn't bring with me (ie tall trees for support).
