Beach trip for hearing SAQ

[Terry Fox]

Martin found that SAQ is operating on June 28, which does not follow the formula I read.  June 28 is field day Sunday.  I am definitely out of doing any SAQ in that case, being only one of 2-3 cw operators for the local club.  I generally work the overnight shift, from 11pm to 7 or 8 am Sunday morning, so by the time SAQ operates, I will be hearing cw ringing in my ears, signal or no signal.

The beaches will be overloaded with tons of people at daytime and evening.  Plus, I believe the Charleston area beaches are pretty much closed down at night (I need to verify this).  I talked this over with Mel today. he thinks that we might be able to get a special permit given enough time, but that's not happening before the July 5 date.
