11/08/2008 | NE7WY What happens in June when several rv's and 49 guys and gals get together in the parking lot of the local volunteer fire department?
They RIDE THE WAVES OF FIELD DAY 2008!!!!!
A good time of felowship and fun was had by all. We set up three stations in Fishing park and the Gillette Wyoming #3 Fire station for 24 hours of operation. The tower was raised and several other antennas were placed at strategic locations (some took a little ingenuity to set up). We operated in everything from motor homes to pickup tailgates.
We had two educational events satelite and psk, along with a joint ARRL/W5YI test session in one of the RV's.
A bbq with all the trimmins.
Oh how to spend a June weekend, FOOD, FRIENDS, AND AMATEUR RADIO. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thanks to all that helped in the making of a great outing this year at #3 fire station. We are looking forward to an even better time next year in Newcastle!!!!! -- N7XKT
