Field Day 2009
Location: Old Thompson Park, Longmont, Colorado
Date: 27th June 2009, times 12 noon to 6:00pm
Five club members showed up about 9:30 am to help set up the antennas in the tall trees in this historic park in Old Town Longmont. We had three stations, two with G5RV antennas, and one with a 20 m dipole.
We had 9 people present and operating consistently during the day. A few others made appearances but did not get in a picture. Sebastian, and others came by to see how it was going.

We made 107 contacts and totaled 550 points, 200 more points than we made in 2008 over the same time period. We had a Red Cross official Joe Callahan make an appearance for a while; there were about 10 people who dropped by wondering who we were and what we were doing and to see our HAM exhibit.

Rick Hess, kc0nzw, used his bow and arrow to get fishing line up high in the trees. Wayne Reed kd0ftm, Rick Hess kc0nzw, Doug Altman ke0si, Duane Burtis wd0eem, Corey Hahn kd0bmn all helped get the antennas up. Some techs and new hams got the opportunity to work HF and talk to HF folks for the first time. -- KE0SI
