[Harc] Winter Field Day Logging Software and Pre-game Meet Up

[Terra Tech]

Hello again folks,

Winter Field Day is coming up on the 24-25th of this month. Our club has 
chosen to set up our stations on the east side of the race track at 
Redwood Acres. (See the image included for a visual of this location.) I 
think this location is going to be really interesting and also very 
practical. There will be restrooms nearby and also Frankie's Bagels! I 
will fill participants in more on details as the event nears.

Participants will work under one call sign and log contacts in the N3FJP 
logging software. We use a local wireless router to connect all those 
participating to a single file location where the contacts are stored. 
In the past we have had success and trouble with the networked 
computers. To help stream line our WFD experience this year we will be 
having a meet up on the 17th at 1:00pm to iron out any networking, 
permissions and logging glitches.

Please come to 2307 H st, Eureka with the laptop you plan to use for WFD 
( If you are a Mac user you should read this. - 
https://groups.io/g/N3FJPSoftwareUsers/topic/n3fjp_and_apple_computer/26477318 
)

Make sure you OS is up to date.

If you have N3FJP Winter Field Day already installed on your PC, we will 
change the call sign and password to HARC's W6ZZK for the event. If you 
do not have it installed we can install and set it up with the club's 
credentials so there is no cost on the 17th.

Organizing and set up for WFD is looser than Field Day. Please respond 
to this email if you plan on participating this year so we can have an 
idea of how many stations will be set up. If you can not make it to our 
meet up on the 17th I will be available for "drop in" setup/testing of 
the logging and networking with you before the 24th. Just get in touch 
with me.

Everyone is welcome to come to our Winter Field Day event. It is a great 
opportunity to see radios stations set up in the field and have a chance 
to get on the air. This year I'd like to emphasize strategy, teamwork 
and problem solving. Personally, I'd like to help out where I can in 
getting a few new folk's stations on the air. We will need to be 
flexible about time spent on certain bands/modes as it pertains to 
interference on other bands and modes.
