GENERATOR - We have only one at this point

AC EXTENSION CORDS - You can never have enough.

CO AX - Same thing. The more the better.

HEADPHONES - One more will probably do it.

You can obtain the new version of the logging software (5.4) from the N3FJP website, http://n3fjp.com/fieldday.html . You must first uninstall any N3FJP field day logging program presently on your computer. If you have any questions, check out the link entitled "Steps to upgrade from previous versions" or call me.

BTW, I need your current email address.

I'm light on radio gear, so it will be two HTs for me.
I will bring some firewood and a couple chairs.
