FOR LAND NAV CLASS
I highly recommend you bring your own map protractor like this and a compass with rotating bezel. @Canoeguy if you can im me, we can discuss getting a course set up ahead of time and getting maps printed. Thanks! |

@canoeguy I PMd an idea for a fun little plinking range challenge.
Happy to head up the idea if we can get our hands on a few steel targets. |

I’ll have a pile of protractors for the guys who forget theirs, and several compasses (thanks supply guy who never 2062’d them) )
I’ll be hammocking as well and will bring underbrush clearing equipment if needed. I even hammocked for my last kids birth. I also have a small kubota I can bring if we need it. Attached File I could also do a prospecting/gold panning demonstration if we have some real city slickers coming. |

Can I buy a Tshirt from the event, and a hat from the distillery? Too far to drive, and you will need someone on the other end of the HF ham demos. We can show how propagation plays a major part in being able to communicate over long distances. Some may find it very cool to talk to someone in WI from KY on a radio. I can switch from portable to a base station and see how it goes.

Very cool -- I'm just a tech at the moment so I haven't bought any of the nice radios yet, a lot of my knowledge comes from my Navy career and the past several years writing software for radios. I need to get the general and extra so I can do some real HF. Hopefully will have some time for that in the near future. |

I have the IC-7300 so it will be great watching someone who knows how to use it.

You said there was room for a small pull behind camper? We may buy one this summer, got a lot of place we want to take it with the kids. Not sure yet...
Also, we are both super interested in the log cabin business tour. Are you still doing that? The old lady owns a design and home remodeling company, and it would be awesome to see your business |
