11/13/2002 | WD4NIT ARRL seems to make regular errors in listing my report, however at
least they got my call and score right. My entry was listed as
1B2-Battery but it should have been listed as 1B1 with regular
emergency power ABOVE five watts (not qualified for Battery designation). My 2001 entry had published errors too. On a more positive note I approve of extending the eligibility for Field
Day to all of Region 2. Maybe the whole planet in future!! Besides
my 1B1 operation I also helped with the 1A operation of the Wedixie
ARC WB4MZO from the day use picnic area at the top of the dam at Carters Lake, Oakman, GA. The club had to leave the picnic area about sundown on Saturday due to U. S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations. However I was in a campground about three miles away, also on Carters Lake, so I could stay all night. Both the club and I had to apply for and receive a special event permit. No additional fees were charged for the permits beyond the picnic shelter rental (club) and camping fee (for me) but some time was required to obtain the needed permission. Carters Lake is a beautiful place for a Field Day operation, located about 65 miles NNW of Atlanta and 45 miles SE from Chattanooga. 73, Warren -- WD4NIT
