Ah, here comes the rocket science portion.
Ed (kf6fir) : "Where do you want the antenna?"
Paul (w6uhf): "As high up there as you can get!"

A visit by the local authorities.
We were able to discuss ARES, Ham Radio and how we can be of service.
We also were able to talk about antenna placement and other BS.
VHF and UHF was very popular, especially with our younger members.
Here Stuart is sharing this hobby with potential hams Ricky and Justin.
The annual event everyone waits for: The KD6YCB memorial dinner.
Held every Field Day Saturday night.
HAPPY FIELD DAY EVERYONE!
