my first year of field day, and what an event!
I enjoyed it definitely. We had5 radios on nothing but emergency power. I
was able to opperate, and even took my test for tech license. I have some
more studying to do, and I will attempt it next month. Man, that test was
not very easy at all.
well, write back. BTW, our info was W9SM
and we were 5A Wisconsin
