    GET ON THE AIR STATION VE6NQ

    4.1.1. Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) Station. Any Class A (or F) entry whose transmitter

    classification is two or more transmitters may also operate one additional station without changing

    its base entry category, known as the GET-ON-THE-AIR (GOTA) station. This GOTA station

    may operate on any Field Day band, HF or VHF, but is limited to one GOTA station

    transmitted signal at any time.

    4.1.1.1. This station must use a different callsign from the primary Field Day station.

    The GOTA station must use the same callsign for the duration of the event regardless if

    operators change. The GOTA station uses the same exchange as its parent.

    4.1.1.2. The GOTA station may be operated by any person licensed since the

    previous year’s Field Day, regardless of license class. It may also be operated by a

    generally inactive licensee. Non-licensed persons may participate under the direct

    supervision of an appropriate control operator. A list of operators and participants

    must be included on the required summary sheet to ARRL HQ.

    4.1.1.3. As per FCC rules, this station must have a valid control operator present at

    the control point if operating beyond the license privileges of the participant using

    the station.

    FARS organizers report 

    "we might have some sprinkles on Saturday so pack some rain gear just in case.  I would suggest 145.17 VE6HRB repeater or  VA6HRH on 443.550+ (110.9 tone) which is also linked and on the High River Hospital.  We’ll be at breakfast at the Heritage Inn starting at 8 AM

    Coming south on Deerfoot-once past Cranston there is an overpass at Okotoks, another at Aldersyde and then the High River overpass. About 15 minutes from Cranston south.

    The Heritage has ample room for parking a trailer, we’ll have breakfast and head over to the site at 9 to start setup.

    Hi all

    I suggest that we locate CARA COMM trailer at GOTA spot pink

    We are bringing trailer just for Saturday and if all agree we could use VE6NQ (our portable call) for the GOTA log.

    The stations using VE6FAR's call sign could be located 

     at the green & yellow sites.
