ICARC Field Day
Field Day Photo Album 2006
It was a good Field Day, with a great potluck dinner Saturday night, thanks to the superlative efforts of Jon Poulton, WØCK. We were treated to a downpour, accompanied by lightning and thunder during our dinner. To add to the excitement, the rain softened the ground, allowing in a guy stake to pull out resulting in the 40 meter vertical doing a slow, graceful fall to the ground. Fortunately, it was not damaged and was quickly put up again.
A big "Thank You" to all who participated! Field Day can be a lot of fun, so if you didn't make it out this year, plan for sure to be there next year.

The Honda 3,000 watt generator that we rented from Aero Rental.
It purrs like a kitten!

Keeping a wary eye on the weather radar! Boy did it rain, but what's
Field Day without challenges from Mother Nature?
