He has a cabin up in the California Sierra&#8217;s in Mi-Wuk Village, located just above Sonora. Our planning for this event has been ongoing for some time. There are really own a few days left and I am trying to lay out all the remaining tasks to accomplish in order to set conditions for a super Field Day experience.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phase I<\/b>: Planning and preparation. We&#8217;re in this phase now.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phase II<\/b>: Travel to California. My love of a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.n0zb.com\/index.php\/2005\/02\/26\/roadtrip\">roadtrip<\/a> has inspired me to drive from Kansas to California for Field Day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phase III<\/b>: Field Day setup. We are going to setup a station that will become permanent up at the cabin. I will operate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.n0zb.com\/index.php\/2006\/06\/25\/icq-field-day-cq-field-dayi-arsib\">another<\/a> station that I am going to setup outside.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phase IV<\/b>: Field Day. Have fun! This will be the first Field Day that my dad and I have operated together.<\/p>\n<p><b>Phase V<\/b>: Clean up and station tweaks. We will spend the Monday after Field Day cleaning up and making any necessary adjustments to the cabin&#8217;s station.<\/p>\n<p>For planning and preparation I need to:<br \/>\n&#8211; Make a packing list. There is a lot of &#8220;stuff&#8221; I need to haul out to California and once we are up at the cabin in the Sierra&#8217;s it will be a little difficult to make a run to RadioShack (let alone the Ham Radio Outlet in Sunnyvale).<br \/>\n&#8211; Cabin station equipment. I believe I have all the pieces and parts that will make up the cabin station. What I need to do is lay out everything and do a test run. One of the station components includes a laptop. Not only will the laptop running logging software, it will also run all the digital modes. I anticipate setting up the laptop will take a lot of time.<br \/>\n&#8211; eARSIB. I need to complete my renovation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.n0zb.com\/index.php\/2009\/06\/09\/field-day-is-coming-field-day-is-coming\">eARSIB<\/a>. Parts wise the only thing I am missing is a shipment from <a href=\"http:\/\/mouser.com\/\">Mouser<\/a> which should arrive soon. Minus those parts, I need to finish putting everything together and testing it. This includes interfacing the eARSIB with another laptop (my laptop). All this will take some time.<br \/>\n&#8211; Items left to purchase. There isn&#8217;t much left to get. A pop-up shelter and a 12v marine battery&#8230; a quick trip to Walmart should solve all this.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Travels_with_Charley\">Roadtrip plan<\/a>. I have my route generally planned but I need to make my reservations for my overnight stays enroute to California (&#8230; and the return trip).<\/p>\n<p>Come Monday, I hope to get most of the planning and prep tasks complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am linking up with my dad, KD6EUG, for this year&#8217;s Field Day.
