on the first day of Field Day June 25, 2011, and could be used on a backup basis on the
2 nd day on June 26, 2011
There is a request for the repeater to be used for the BEST BUDDY RIDE (see below) on

This is another bike ride that goes from Quincy to Hyannis on 1 Day.
Field Day Logging Program Tutorial Video on line
The Field Day Logging Program, which was our discussion this month, has a Video Tutorial,
narrated by our own Chris Johnson, N1IR on his website http://www.n1ir.com/p/gars-corner.html.
We suggest that you download the program at http://n3fjp.com/FD.htm
Then watch the video and then try and do logging. We will be using it to log all Field Day Long.
The program is actually very simple. Type in the call sign, hit tab, type in their report (usually 3A or
2A or 1F…..) and then the section (EMA, WV, CT, or whatever their section is). This is the same
program we have used the past few years.
