Map Legend

Red Antenna Tower: Field Day site.

OGreen/OYellow/ORed Circle: highlighted FD Sites are shown with a circle (solid, or outlining a Square).

This highlights New Participants and New Sites -- or (latest) confirmations. Reason(s) for highlights are included in the "hover text" / alt-tag.

O Green (go) High prirority to visit -- Confirmed and New/changed location, or new team, or back from hiatus, or missed by staff last year.
O Yellow Confirmed -- visited last year.
O Red Not visited last year, not yet confirmed. Hover to see why. Good to visit, if active.

Squares: A square is a staff base QTH, either home or FD if with red tower; labeled with callsign to upper left. Solid color means base location of a touring staff member, should have line of same color going out. Black center means not known to be touring FD sites (will be removed if you say you're not touring, will change to solid color if you give me plans) or home QTH of a touring staffer who is BASED at a site (color background square behind the site).
Colors are by ARRL Badge scheme (modified for distinguishing a bit): Red, Elected SM or Other Section, or VDir (BrickRed). Green, ASM and other Cabinet appointees w/o specific colors. (Dark Green for ACC.) Orange for SEC/DEC (Dark Orange, DEC/EC/EOC; Light Orange, SEC).

Note on location: FD sites are plotted on as exact an NAD27 Lat-lon as is available. Home QTHs for staff are usually plotted at the center of 6-char Grid-Square (e.g., FN42ho) computed from FCC mailing address or QRZ listing, not from an exact street address -- sometimes plotted on 8-char MH Grid square center for perturbation.

• Mike Neilsen W1MPN (EMA Section Manager)
  • Usually tours EMA.
  • This is my ambitious sked. I may have to shave a few off as I go around to respond to contingencies as in prior years.
  • NVARC, PART, PARC@PRA, QRA, NSRA, Mystic VARG (Scratch) or MIT (covered by KB1EKN), Boston ARC, Whitman ARC (? May get there too late to get in gate, as I believe it closes after SS), Genesis(covered by KB1EKN), Falmouth ARA (overnight WX permitting. If there, I will raise Nantucket as a 1C contact), SEMARA, BCRA/FRARC ? (I have gone every year, but may not this year), Sturdy, MANG-ARC?, Framingham ARA
  • The Methodology: Will start with NVARC arriving ~1200 Sat, dinner at NSRA, overnight at Falmouth (breakfast of course!), and finish at Framingham ARA.
  • I will monitor RACES and Skywarn repeaters enroute as well as simplex freqs. I will probably run PACKET again this year. I will have a different cell phone, and I will send that along

EMA Staff

• Mark Duff KB1EKN (ASM)
  • Usually sets up with Boston ARC,
  • touring as DEC Metro District (MIT, MVARG (last minute scratch))
  • and nearby targets of opportunity as ASM -- Whitman , Massasoit, Genesis this year.
    And maybe WARS if time allows.
  • Chief Duff also usually visits Capeway (off this year) for 100 pts As Town EM Director
    (Capeway does EmComm for a race in his town each year, so he counts as a Served Agency Representative, but they're taking 2005 off).

• Ron Wood, W1PLW (PIC)
  • new appointment.
