The Mayor Visits Huntington Beach RACES Field Day - W6O

Field Day Surf City Style!

HB RACES had another great Field Day at the beach. The WX was picture-perfect at this year’s location – a public parking lot at the shore, with magnificent views of the beach and the famous Huntington Beach pier.

With the generous support and effort from Emergency Manager Brevyn Mettler KI6FRG and the Huntington Beach Fire Department, our group established a 4A entry, with operations from 40 meters to 13 cm (10 GHz microwave). Most of our contacts were made on 40 meters – which seemed to be open all FD weekend!

Here’s an interesting bit of trivia about the 2012 Huntington Beach RACES Field Day operation:

There were three ex-ARRL Hq. employees present: Peter Zilliox, K5PZ, Wayne Yoshida KH6WZ and George Barker, NA1L.
