- wow - what a fantastic field day for 2006! The first order of business is to say a big THANK YOU to all who helped and came out to participate. We couldn't have done it without you - and we are so appreciative that you took the time to make this weekend a HUGE success. This year's field day was a little different than others. It seems that every year we try something different - and we learn some new things. We were 3 Alpha this year - instead of our usual 4 Alpha. That seemed to work well and the 3 radios were seldom without an operator. We also tried to conserve on generator use this year due the cost of gas. It appears we were successful in this area as well. The last change was in the area of food. Other than drinks and snacks, which were provided by the club, meals were purchased by the participants at local food establishments. This provided a wide variety of choices, and a lot less work for the "food committee". The weekend event was a success and the happy faces in the pictures are proof of the good time had by all. Who knows what changes may be in store for next year's Field Day? A change of location has been suggested - let's see what other suggestions we come up with before next year. We are guaranteed to have fun - and learn something new.
