All equipment items for the operation are in one huge spreadsheet called the "Master Equipment List." Click on the link that follows or go to the "Equipment" section, then click on "Master Equipment List" ( http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/vp5cw/master.vp5cw.htm ) to view this spreadsheet.Please be patient – it is a large file.

The table is arranged by stations. Within a station, each item has a specific number (1 through 78). Thus, the rotor for the transmitting antenna for RUN would be designated as equipment item RUN-73. Those numbers (1 - 78) also tie to a general station wiring diagram. Which you can get by clicking on "Typical Station - Diagram and Component Numbers" (http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/vp5fxb/station/sld001.htm ). Look at the diagram and correlate it with the master equipment list and hopefully the details will all make sense. It might also be helpful to look at the room layout diagram for the Hamlet.

You can then go down to the section called "Info for Team Members" and click on your callsign and look at the list of equipment items that you alone are responsible for bringing.
