06/29/2004 | W9VT No Murphy this Year! What did we do wrong? No Murphy? No Hot Weather! No Lightning, No Problems! No Cops! Must be the Good Living! Our Club, W9VT has been doing this for many, many decades. This one was just about perfect! How Perfect? We operated 3F from our Village Emergency Command Bunker. What did the Village do the Friday before Field Day to our surprise? ... They put up a 80ft Rohn 45 Tower that they been waiting for the last year to put up... the day before Field Day! Station Manager, Jerry, K9PMV and some of our Club members were out doing some pre-FD clean up and found the tower going up! OH Boy! Our 60+ year young tower climber, Jim, KB9VR just couldn't wait to get up that tower and put a G6 up at the top! It Played, and we Played! Great Field Day! Thanks to the Setup, Tear Down Crews, all the operators, especially our CW Team of Dave, N9LGP, N9LGP, and N9LGP (he did it Solo!), the overnight crazies that stayed all night long! And lastly, Of course Trish, N9WDG (WILD DANCING GIRL) the GOTA Station Captain, Club Vice President, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer! Trish, We all Love You! Great Field Day! ..... till next year! -- WD9HSY
