I am interested if you are going to get on the air from your RV? Tell us about where you are, your camping rig and if you are going to play radio while playing with the RV.

I will be camped here at home and on generator power working HF. I will keep a ear out for your signal.

I should be at a NY State Park near Binghamton.
Will be using an old Yaesu FT-7b that I have hooked up to my laptop and will be doing digital. I will be using a Par-Electronics End-Fed antenna, and will be running of the RV house battery - no AC at the park.
The RV is a 2003 20ft Class-B Pleasure-Way.
Also along will be the wife and 3 dogs.

Never liked contesting and for too many Field Day is just a contest.
Did a few with the wrong clubs if you know what I mean.
Field Day should be enjoyed, not stressful.

From the RV I doubt. .However I will be providing quiet, clean power for W8HP, the Hazel Park Amateur Radio Club, And we will be in a park, near I-75 and 9 1/2 mile (Woodward Heights) ... I do not know if I'll have a Rig in my MH or not, last time I did this they borrowed my TS-2000


Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Like I said, I will be on generator and from the RV. I just put up a G5RV @ 75+ feet. Boy what a difference over a 1/2 (52') G5RV Jr.
