07/17/2004 | W4HAW CQ Field Day,

Hi All, Murphy hit again, guess he doesn't like FD. Our posting just vanished after being here for 4 days (Go Old Murphy LOL).

West Palm Beach Amateur Radio Club is on of the oldest radio clubs in South FLorida starting in the 30s. I have worked many Field Day's since my 20s with Manny W4SS SK and Dover but I never managed one myself (Whew what a Rush!).

We set up 4 towers 2 40ft and a 50ft out in the Mound Circle Field and a 30ft at the GOTA station. The 50ft one is a portable trailer tower setup that we haul our towers and rigging on. Built by Kg4CWC.

Three RV's with 15-20-40-6-Sat-2-440 MTR. We had a great group of people help out and setup up, operate and tear down.

Our GOTA station had KG4IMS Paula's daughter on there and my daughter's on there making contacts in the Virgin Ils. and Texas and other locations.

There was so much food this year that we could have feed twice the amount of people we had thanks to our great Food Captian and her staff.

I think the photos show the most, Iv'e forgotten some of what we wrote in here but we all had a great time at doing like we do every year, and Mound Circle is in John Prince Park in Lake Worth, FL. you can see a photo from a plane covering the 1999 or 2000 it's a great shot of the area. http://www.qsl.net/wpbarc . And thanks again to the folks that came out a participated at the West Palm Beach ARC Field Day. Check Out the other photos at http://www.qsl.net/wpbarc/2004
