Field Day - part deux

As a preparation for Field Day Dale, Dennis and Bob made a trial run on June 7th. We put up a G5RV between two trees and set up a temporary station. We quickly made a 20 m SSB contact with California to verify that everything was working. Bob's wife Margot took the occasion to read a book in a lawn chair in the Sun while the guys played radio and then provided a delicious chicken dinner.

After the trail an issue came up in that we discovered that PARF was also running a field day site 1.1 miles away in Portage Lakes State Park. At a meeting on June 9 with PARF we determined that interference was manageable and that we will each go ahead.
