Thank you so very much for providing all the wealth of information about Field Day sites here in EMA. I am almost overwelmed with it all.
Yes I will be touring Field Day Sites and yes I will also be operating Field Day with the PART group at K1AL's barn in Carlisle. In fact this present a real dilema as the PART Field Day (it appears) will be our largest ever and I would like to spend as much time as possible there.
I hope to visit clubs that I have not contacted over visited so far.So my tentative schedule is to visit:
Rob Macedo KD1CY ( SEC & DEC/Skywarn & ASM )
Usually operates at SEMARA or handles SKYWARN issues at NWS BOX, with touring as available.
2009 - Plan
my plans will be to stay in the Acushnet/Dartmouth area and do Field Day from the Acushnet EMA, WA1EMA on Saturday and the SEMARA Club, W1AEC, on Sunday. There is also the potential of SKYWARN Ops on Saturday for strong to severe thunderstorms so if that occurs that will change my plans radically and I'll be at NWS for that time period.
Any Field Day sites setting up [Friday] should be prepared for severe weather. It unfortunately appears we have the potential for a sizeable outbreak of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening with additional issues with thunderstorms Saturday.
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.

2009
After touring for the last several years, I have just recently decided that I am going to sit this one out and do some operating myself. I will be visiting the PART of Westford site but probably be operating at another site as part of a multi-op indivdual station.
Thanks for doing all this data consolidation Bill. You do an excellent job and a tremendous asset to our Section!
2008 -
My plans are to visit all of the Region 1 sites again this year. Maybe motorcyle mobile. Should have the tracking unit enabled (http://www.qsl.net/ka8scp/). I'll try and grab some photos this year. I am probably going to do just the clubs in Region 1's counties: Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk. Some Region 1 clubs are operating in other counties (Needham, Mystic Valley, MIT, Waltham & Boston) and some sites are missing this year.
My actuals in the order they occured:
Saturday
Sunday
I missed the MITRE (Billerica) folks, they did not operate on Sunday and I missed them on Saturday.
My photos are at http://picasaweb.google.com/ka8scp/FieldDay2008?authkey=QM1yajuagmc
