The VHF/UHF station operated out of the
back end of Team-Captain Bob-KD6BWH's (on right) truck and covered 6M, 144, 220, and 440
MHz. Bud-WA6VPP (on left) helped set up some of the bonus-modes like APRS and SSTV. |

The team captain of the 75M/80M/15M station,

Field Day does not have to be all work.
There is plenty of time to seat a shady spot and enjoy an eye-ball QSO. (L-R)
Mike-WK6O, Larry-K6VDP, and visitor Jim Ford N6JF. |

Willie N8WP's motorhome nicely served as the home for
the 15M/20M-CW/40M-CW/75M/80M station and the GOTA station. The 5-ele 15M beam can be seen
to the left. The 80M dipole can be seen hung between two 40-ft masts to the right. The
40M-CW and 20M-CW frequencies were operated using the 80M dipole with great success. If
you click to enlarge the picture, you see FD Chaiman Willie-N8WP (center) talking with two
visitors, including ARRL Director Dick-N6AA. |
