Field Day

                                     2008 Field Day

     This years Field Day will be on June 28-29, 2008 and always the fourth full week end in June.  The Milford Club will be at the same site as last year, Dodge Park #10, 1/4 mile South of Livingston Road, on the West side of Pettibone Lake Road.  Since it is a Michigan State Park, a daily entrance fee will be needed, which might be refunded by the Field Day Chairman or the Executive Board.
 
     The things that recommended this site were;  running water in the kitchenette, flush toilets, electricity in the kitchenette for keeping the food warm, plenty of room and trees for antennas, close to the level paved parking lot for the motor homes, and really beautiful place to have Field Day.

We will met at the park on Friday, June 27, to set up the antennas, and clean up the shelter. Then we return Saturday morning to set up the stations.

     This year, 2008, we ran 2-A with a CW station, and a phone station.  It was a beautiful weekend, the weather was great, the food was outstanding, and all the participants contributed to a real good time and a good score even though a bit lower than previous years.  WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!
