KF5IZN.

Will do KF5IZN. I try to get down and see a buddy in League City a couple times a year and usually venture down your way.

Field Day this weekend and we will be operating 2 stations in the EOC category, call sign N5EOC. Operations starts 1PM Sat. 24th. We will be setup on the east end of the building in the community common meeting room. Walk up the steps behind the statue and the room is just to the right of the entry doors. You are at the correct end of the building when you see the inverted V dipole hanging off the corner of the building on that end. Make sure you sign the visitor log. Licensed any class or not you can operate as we will have Extra class on hand at all times.

Government owned building and we are in the public access area. You all know what that means...

Bennies,

Take a look at repeaterbook.com online or the application for android or iPhone for repeaters in your area. Lots of search options to narrow down what you are interested in. Load up the radio with repeaters and then operate the radio in scan mode during different times of the day. Take notes about what you hear and when. That will help you order the list from highest to lowest usage. Computer software to program and maintain your repeater data is key to keeping your sanity.

A note on the private info... Back in the good old day of black Bakelite and rotary dial telephones there was the "yellow pages" with your name, phone number and address. Now days the FCC database gives up your name and address. I can't see that as compromising, but some will.
