Ham radio fun in the great outdoors

Field Day 2006—another
success
This
year's WGARS Field Day operation was again held in Bremen,
Georgia.
William, KI4MJO, summed it up very nicely:
This was my first field day and I enjoyed
it immensely. I finally got to shake hands with a few hams I
have talked to but never met, and I also got to experience HF for the first time, which has got me studying even harder
for my General [Class license] and CW [Morse Code] exam.
I took my 14-year-oldstepson and my
eight-year-old nephew [and] they both enjoyed it. We had a
good turnout, [and] I look forward to the next field day and
spending some more time with a bunch of guys and gals with
the same interest as I have.
According to William, attendees included club
president Tim, KB4TIW; Tom, N4FWD; Vivian, KF4BUJ; George,
KI4CZR; Rusty, KG4VWY; Dale, KE4FEM; and Larry, KG4MXU.
Non-members included Christopher Smith and Caleb Pendergraft.
