Announcement by KN6RBP
I would like to thank everyone who came out to McSweeney Park for Winter Field Day.
The weather was great and the feedback has been mostly very good. A special thanks to those of you who came early to help with setup and teardown as well as operations.
KN6UNL provided his 710 and a really great 20M whip antenna that performed quite well.
KO6ALP brought his portable log periodic and we heard 2 different satellites one was the ISS.
And last but not least Congratulations to AI6ZW & KM6JWS for tying for first place in our first but not last chili cook off. KN6UNL & KN6MJS were second and third place. There were 8 entries and they were all really good. Thank You all for your delicious entries.
This really was a perfect day at the park. Once again thank you to everyone who came out.
Photos of the event are on the website home page.
