Thursday at 1000 will be a dry run at the Titan Museum Specifically to see how John's motorhome fits the environment.
Setup and take down for the event should be as simple as "unplug" and go.
The radio, computer et al. are working fine. We will be relying on the club generator for operations.
In addition to the motorhome, we will endeavor to erect one of the club's pop-up canopies over the table so if the environment allows operations from outside the motorhome.
In addition to the computer, we will have a paper radio for logging QSOs for anyone preferring paper over the computer.
If you want to erect your own MOBILE or PORTABLE unit in the same area, please let me know so we can arrange for band usage and use of N7GV call for the event. The discone antenna is reserved for the club station.
I plan on having a portable setup for practice.
Bring HTs so we can coordinate frequency and mode use if other stations are being used on site.
Now, to just remember what I have forgotten!

7QP is May 7 from 0600 to midnight. Several people indicated at Wednesday club meeting they would like to participate, and I have been selected to coordinate the club event.
Since the meeting covered only a fraction of the membership I'd like to get and guestimate on numbers wishing to participate.
Please respond to this email if you have a desire to participate as N7GV including desired operations hours and modes.
Presently the plan is for us to put up a station at the GV Fire training center where we held WFD and club meetings. I have queried the 7QP hierarchy to see if ops from members' homes using the N7GV call sign as was during covid be used again.
Ops in a motorhome at the Titan Discone is being considered as well.
Please respond with your preferences and thoughts.

Pictures of the operators from yesterday will be uploaded to the 7 QP page on the club web site. The log has been submitted and 7 QP is done for another year.
