I called the Burnsville Parks and Recreation contact to get some information (so I don't duplicate effort). <br /><br />There are tables and chairs available inside the building, the A/C is working good ;-), there are outlets and the kitchenette includes a stove and small dorm-style refridgerator.<br /><br />I will bring my portable cooler to hold snacks and beverages for the SSB station, but will not drag table and chairs out. I will also bring a 50 foot extension cord and power strip.<br /><br />They are okay with us spraying the area around the shelter for bugs.<br /><br />They request that someone pick up the key as early as possible today (Tanna I am sure you are already on this).<br /><br />Just for kicks, I will be running my D-Star access point (DVAP) in open mode, anyone with a D-STAR capable radio will have access to the local D-Star Reflector (REF053A) at our FD site.<br /><br />The NOAA Storm Prediction Center shows our area with a slight probability (10%) of a severe weather event for Saturday:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html">http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html</a><br /><br />I will be running my GRlevel3 storm radar during FD to keep an eye on possible bad stuff heading our way.<br /><br />Happy Field Day everyone!<br /><br />73 de Dave, KE0NA<br /><br /><br />
