"Roy, Heidi.  Heidi, Roy"   "Quick - let's rifle through Santa's bag!"   Some "Toys for Tots".
     
  "Hal, can I have this dance?"

"I don't think so Don..."

  Awwwwwwww  
   
"Yes Janet, we see you too..."   The tough kids always sit in the far corner.   KB2TJJ

"For those who need to know..."

N2SKP taking a break from CW... KC2LIX checking out the Elecraft. Angie doing her best to stay warm on a dreary day. Matthew calling "CQ" on 30 meters. WA2WMJ & N2XE.  If these two don't now something, it's not worth knowing...

"X" marks the spot. The view northeast. Roy ready for action. "5 sets of 10 reps..." A picture only a ham could love...
The Petersen's playing "Iron Chef". A manly ham. ? While the sun went down the action heated up. A last look before dark.
OOPS! N2XE works the mini-paddles on 6m CW. Janet KC2LUR brought her mom. "Cyclops" nailing another grid on 1.2GHz. You have no idea how long this exposure took...
Mike, after the previous time exposure. Someone (probably "the machine") operating through Saturday night. "Jim - wake up!" Ken N2OBY logging while K2CSS snoozes - er, calls CQ. Jim's still asleep, or he wouldn't have sprayed PAM on a hot pan...
A couple of Rovers showed up Saturday morning. Looking good with just under three hours left! Sunday night in the deep, dark woods. Julian WA2WMJ came by to help take things down Monday.  "Thanks JB!" "Same time next year shipmate?"

"Aye Captain, but next year bring your own sleeping bag."

QSY tables at TSARA hamfest.   IC-736 draws a crowd.   Roy, Dennis & Ken.

  A post-lunch siesta...   What's a hike up a mountain without... the hike back down?

Field Day 2004

Kids did a lot of operating this year.   NC2F & WC2J burning both the midnight oil & the ether. Roy KC2DMH taking a breather.
       
Anywhere but Field Day, this nighttime trio would be intimidating... Proud papa Bill WA2AHR looks on while his daughter does some operating. N2XE's homebrew "flyrod verticals" framing the tower-mounted beam. "By the light of the silvery moon..."

"Ohhhh, I get it now..."   "Chef duJour" Colleen KC2HUT   "You want a piece of me?"

Our colors flying proudly. "Hold on - It says insert Tab A into Slot B, NOT Tab B into Slot A!" "Look Bill - those guys are still messing around with the tabs & slots..." Mike KC2HUV - Last of a long line of "Flying Scalias".
       
View to the North. View to the Southwest. Behind every great Field Day is a great generator. This moment of serenity didn't last much longer...

"Y'all come down to Crazy Mike's Used Radio Corral anytime!" Roy KC2DMH putting the hard sell on fellow QSY'er Janet KC2LUR. The crowd (what there was of one) started to thin out early... Rich N2ZKX was on hand soliciting volunteers for the upcoming "Rally New York." Some friendly faces showed up as we started to pack up.  (L-R N2YJZ, KC2HUV, WA2WMJ & N2QZ
