<div dir="ltr"><div>Good evening folks.</div><div><br></div><div>I know I only know a few of you guys/gals, so I guess a little introduction is in order. My name is Chris Hickey and I'm KK6KFB from Morgan Hill. Last night, good old KE6SLS Jaye sent me an email informing me I have been designated the Field Day 2019 Coordinator... well, I've never had this position, or any position with any club before, so I'm going to give it my best go.</div><div><br></div><div>First off, Field Day 2019 is RIGHT around the corner and we only have about a month and a half left to get our plans and equipment in order. I've started a list of items that are going to require attention and I guess we're going to be in need of volunteers.</div><div><br></div><div>Please note that this list is going to be dynamic. As things progress, some items may be stricken and others added. I'm sure I've forgotten to add a few line items here, so please feel free to chime in make recommendations/suggestions as you see fit.</div><div><br></div><div>So, here is what I have so far...</div><div><br></div><div>
