Hi Bill,

Thank you for again setting up for WFD this year.  I would like to join you for a bit of operating cw qrp, if this dang cold XYL and I have been fighting for weeks abates enough.

Some questions:  I have a 40/20M cw QRP rig and batteries for power.  Will there be antennas set up I could use for 40M and 20M?  Daytime, I may only do 20M, but 40 sometimes is useful even during daytime because of contests crowd.Otherwise, are there trees wehere I can sling up an endfed antenna?

Are all operations using K0SI call sign or personal sign?

What about logging?  I'm even thinking a paper log, rather than laptop.  If laptop, I have the WFD logging software.

What is your experience with laptops battery life in cold?

Winter Field Day is coming up Jan 28 -29.

The club will try again as the weather permits.

Cosmo Park, SW corner. My generator and go kit.

Bring your own if you like. Bring your go kits, antennae, and power sources if you want to see how they do in the cold (not TOO cold).

Can you operate your radio with gloves on? (I can't).

But the headset keeps my ears warm.

See www.winterfieldday.org for all the info.

So far I have W0RAG and KC0EZE volunteering. (I am sorry if I missed anyone else who might have indicated interest). 

I plan to operate from 1:00 to Dark. (1/28)
