06/30/2004 | N5EOC The NETARC (Northeast Tarrant County Amateur Radio Club)- N5EOC - again this year set up at the town center gazebo with a 100 foot ladder truck for an antenna support. The open air gazebo helped but didn't totally block the driving rain that commenced just after Field Day start at 1800Z and continued through the weekend. Rig tables were covered with tarps, and operators held umbrellas while operating through the storms. Our high public visibility drew the attention of many curious shoppers besides inactive hams that stopped by to investigate. Mainly a good time was had by all, and we creatively solved some of the problems that pop-up in "the field". -- W5AP
