OCARC FD SITE 2009
This year the OCARC held Field Day on the school grounds of Walter Knott
School in Buena Park. The FD site was just to the West of the Knott's Berry Farm
theme park and on the South-side of La Palma Ave. |

The Walter Knott School made an excellant
FD site. Plenty of open room and nice shade trees and picnic tables near the
"chuck wagon". The school grounds are close enough to Knott's Berry Farm that we
could hear the screams of the roller-coaster ride throughout the day and evening. |

OCARC Field Day events do not just
happen...they take planning. Our Field Day Chairman, "General Paul" W6GMU,
is reviewing final FD plans at the June club meeting with Dino-KX6D shown in the
background. |

The Chuck Wagon was headed up by

that helped set-up the antennas and towers on Friday afternoon.
