Just wanted to give a special thanks to Dave Moes for organizing field day this year, and a big thanks to anyone who volunteered to help despite the weather this year it was still a resounding success. It was nice to see everyone even if you just stopped by for a minute. Our newest member Jon Brown was there for most of the event even when it got pretty nasty out, and Rick had some adventures with his newest setup but we still remained on air for most of the 24hours. Thanks to VA3IX and VE3BSR for the photos.
