California QSO Party 2022
Upcoming CQP: 1600Z October 1 - 2200Z October 2
Scott, NA7OM, wondered if there might be wildfire smoke problems. Also, fire regulations prohibit use of gasoline generators. Perhaps we could use AC7S’s location? Motion was made and seconded to authorize $175 of club funds for CQP. A vote was taken, and passed in the affirmative.

Field Day 2022
Scott is working with the BLM to try and secure space again near Hyatt Lake.
Jackson County has raised the insurance requirements so high that we can no longer use county parks or facilities for events. Our underwriter will not write a policy that large.
Scott, NA7OM, says the Hyatt Lake location is likely for Field Day, Jun 25 & 26 this year.
From the June 2022 issue of The Repeater.
7QP Contest 2022
The 7QP contest is Saturday, May 7th, 6:00 AM to midnight PDT. Due to new very difficult Jackson County insurance requirements the club will not be able to use the Agate Lake park (or presumably any other county facilities).

Field Day 2021
For this month’s program we will discuss potential Field Day activities for the club. Our normal site has not yet been released for general use. Several members have been looking at possible locations in the Hyatt Lake area. With the higher altitude it might be cooler than our previous close-in (but down in the valley) locations.
This year the Field Day rule waivers put in place last year remain in effect. This allows home stations (Class D or E) to work other Class D or E stations. However in 2021 home stations are limited to 150 W PEP output.
In previous years we used a special 1x1 callsign. However this year we are looking at using our K7MFR call for Field Day. The club registered K7MFR in ARRL’s Logbook of The World (LoTW) recently, so we can QSL electronically using our FD logs.
