We were amazingly fortunate this year; first to have such a wonderful set of volunteers, especially those that worked tirelessly (seems an odd thing to say for exhausting work) getting the material to and from the park, raising and lowering all the antennas, and setting up and removing all the gear). \u00a0Second, we were VERY lucky with the weather. \u00a0Quite a storm blew-by on Saturday morning, and everyone was forced to seek shelter indoors. \u00a0By 11 AM the skies were blue again, and the weather couldn’t have been better for the contest itself.<\/p>\n
Special thanks go out to Willy W1LY and his wonderful team who made all this possible by putting everything together. \u00a0Thousands of pounds of stuff moved too and fro with most of it lifted high into the air. \u00a0Ed W1NQH, Fay, and Brian N1TBT worked tirelessly feeding the hungry hoards Saturday and Sunday, and put together a wonderful family dinner for the largest crowd I can recall. \u00a0Of course John WA1ABI managed to lead all of us through another safe and enjoyable event. \u00a0Congratulations to the team leaders who did such a fine job: \u00a0Paul N1PSX, Chuck N1CKT, Bob WB4SON, Dave KC3GPA, and Bruce NJ3K.<\/p>\n
We were also lucky to have Dave, KC1AAA, with us documenting Field Day from start to finish. \u00a0His photos are wonderful along with his story. \u00a0If you would like to see a copy of his slideshow, you can click here!<\/a><\/p>\n Blue skies await the 14:00 start on Saturday (Photo: Dave KC1AAA)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We were amazingly fortunate this year; first to have such a wonderful set of volunteers, especially those that worked tirelessly (seems an odd thing to say for exhausting work) getting the material to and from the park, raising and lowering … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/w1sye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/FD2017-1024x606.jpg\")
