Egg makes Ham Radio Debut

Uncle Phil

I am an Amateur Radio operator (KJ4HI) and every year at the end of June we take our antennas and radios to the field for a 24 hour exercise simulating emergency conditions. This training paid off as we did it for real 4 times during the hurricanes in Florida! As part of generating our own power and living in campers and tents, we also cook our own meals...Enter Egg stage left. Well, this year the guys have encouraged me to bring the Egg. How could I turn down such a devoted group of public servants? So, now what to make for 15 to 20 hungry guys? Ribs will be the main meal. I though chicken wings might be a treat or even some ABTs even though I have never made them. Any other suggestions from seasoned Eggers? Field Day is June 25 and 26 rain or shine... It always rains![p]Uncle Phil

Uncle Phil,[p]considering your real challenge is setting up the rigs, building an antenna farm, etc., I'd work on something you can get ready ahead of time. chix wings sounds like a great idea., and the ribs can be all set up to go early as well. I'm not sure how far ahead of time you can make the ABT's and keep them prior to cooking, but no reason you couldn't try it.[p]best, HS

Uncle Phil,

tach18k, When you're hungry and in the field anything will do, but to bring an egg along, wow.[p]Maybe one of you can get me active again. I am K1ELT and have held that call for 45 plus years. I was also formerly W4VYJ.[p]I wonder if the egg would make a good repeater.[p]cq dx

Uncle Phil,[p]WR4P here. It's great to see other hams using the BGE. Big Green Eggs and Ham. Seems like there's a Dr. Seuss book about such! I'd go with pulled pork. It's inexpensive at Sams Club ($1.42 per pound here in Spartanburg, SC) and the smell all night long will make your other club members giddy with excitement/hunger. CWM's baked beans and some cole slaw make the meal. I love doing Boston Butts as you can walk away from them with a low n slow. 20 hours later or so people think you're a BBQ god!
