Field Day 2007


Again, Field Day has come and gone.
Several helped assembling the antenna and tilt-over tower. The stacked tower went together pretty quickly and with the beam working well. The crew strung a 40 and 80 meter dipoles from the 40' mast on the COMM trailer.
The afternoon went pretty well. Contacts were made on 40-80 using the ICOM 706 MKIIG from the trailer COMM room and 10-15-20 from a KW TS-50 set up in the trailer conference room.
Several friends, other amateurs and interested members of the public stopped by to 'check us out'.
We closed shop a little early due to the history of non-participation overnight and Sunday.
I would like to personally thank everyone for their help. No matter how much (or little) you were able to do, every little bit helps and is MUCH APPRECIATED. Also, Thanks goes to the Hot Springs Municipal Airport for again allowing us use of the facilities.

73,
Robert (Bob) King, W5LVB
President - SPA Amateur Radio Association
