Ken,
You providing ice will be awesome. It sounds like we may have a hot Field Day. We will need ice refreshed during the event, I think. Ice contributions from anyone coming up at any time of day

On Friday evening when I bring the gate controller I can bring a Hustler 5BTV vertical with coax (PL259 connector) for the GOTO station. You will be able to operate 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10
