[OZAPRS] Wyong Help Needed

Sat Feb 27 22:13:44 EST 2010

Hi Damien,

I will be at the site from about 9am tomorrow.

I have made myself available at anytime during the day.

I am more than happy to talk with people during my shift.

I had considered that "the boy's" would bring the necessary equipment and I
would fill the gaps.

Look forward to seeing you again at about 9am in the morning.

Howdy Folks,

Ok, have a crate here with 3g wireless router (802.11b/g, plus 4 ethernet
ports for those who can't do WPA-PSK), netgear 8-port gig switch, 20M 15A
extension cable x 2, 6-outlet power board, a bunch of 3 and 5m extension
cables, 20A 12v PSU (if you want power from it you'll need banana plugs, or
cig lighter double-adapter :) ), a bunch of 5 and 10m network cables, and a
HEAP of targus notebook lock cables (combination lock type) - great for
locking notebooks/transceivers etc down to tables :)  Anything else folks
want?

xastir was a epic fail on the macbook - I'll get to and install uiview in
windows in vmware at some stage!  Have toughbook running uiview with the D7
attached which looks quite neato :)  Though would be nice to have something
between the newcastle 100km map, and the sydney 400km map :)

What time are we setting up?  And are we able to drive in and park down the
side/back near where we're setting up?

Cheers,

Damien

48-port gig switch in if the 4 ports on the 3g router aren't enough) :)

I really should install xastir up on my macbook and lug the 23" LCD along I
guess ;)  The toughbook with uiview, connected to the D7 could be fun too :)
 Might take it all to canb with me and play on thursday night :)

Cheers,

DG

Wyong is almost on us. I have some tickets if you need some? Let me know
ASAP. Also, is there anything you need me to bring. I would prefer just to
be on the stand myself to fill in as required rather than be tied down full
time

Hi Damien,

Every time I've been there the gates were open. I drove right to the spot
where we normally have our table.

Regards

Colin

Hey Colin,

Sure, though can we get into the racecourse normally during the day?  We pop
down to tuggerah at least twice a week for various bits, so I can go the
back way (aka down the highway instead of the freeway) one day to check it
:)

Is anyone going to look at me weird if I carry a 12v battery, inverter (I
doubt there's power available normally?), router, and laptop down there? ;)

Cheers,

Damien

Hi Damien,

If you get a chance, can you try the 3.5G router at the spot where we will
have our table.

Darryl,

Has the club provided you with the location of our table?

Regards

Colin

To make internet access easy, I'll have my optus 3.5g wireless router with
me :)

Hi Daryl,
I'm happy to help out however as this will be my first Wyong
field day, I'm keen to have a scratch around as well.
My offer to have my vehicle for display is still there.

The WYONG FIELD DAY is almost here. It is on at the end of February,
and
so

far I have only had two people interested in helping on the stand. If
you are interested in helping out and telling other people about APRS
can you please let me know ASAP. Unless we get some more helpers we
will not be able to staff the stand
