W4BRK
Berkeley County South Carolina ARES/RACES operated from a Western Shelter System, Field Hospital, tent complex erected adjacent to our EOC building. Two operators participated: Dennis KG4RUL and Steve W4SLI. The Western Shelter is fully climate controlled and powered by a 41KW Diesel Generator. Our HF antennas consisted of a homebrew, all band, OCF dipole and a full-size, 160M dipole, stretched between trees on the site. We managed to snag HI and AK from SC! -- KG4RUL
