      3. Mansfield EOC, Mansfield (conditional--if plans permit, unaffiliated group)

      This covers the entire section area south of Greater Boston according to the website map. Since Saturday is essentially a 'half day', I've planned the closer sites on that day. While the Sunday plans cover a larger driving area, I have about the same number of visits each day. I see one of the three last Saturday visits as being unwanted/unneeded, and if more than one is, I will adjust the visits accordingly.

      I will also co-ordinate with any other section/division official who plans to visit those sites if those other visitors want to do so, and will change my plans if necessary to do so.

    • 2008 -

      I was at the Acushnet EMA Field Day site on Saturday from about 130 PM until 2 AM Sunday.

      Later on Sunday, I visited the Swansea Field Day site and the Fall River Field Day site at Freetown State Forest. Both sites were doing very well with contacts and had many operators participating and I had a nice discussion with Carl-WA1PQT, the Swansea EMA Director, and Roland and the boys at Fall River. There were prolly between 5-10 operators at each site even though I went and visited late Sunday Morning into early afternoon.

      Bands were in good shape for Field Day including a band opening on 10 Meters.
