As with most outdoor events mother nature reigns supreme. We did get some heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms throughout the weekend. The event was condensed down to June 22, 2024. Due to the horrible weather reports. From noon on the weather was not to bad.
They had a table for different frequency bands, as well as an FT8 table. I met a number of wonderful people including the Vice president of TARA. They served subs, hot dogs, hamburgers, soda, water etc... As a new ham I was very interested to see their antennas. The antenna is just as important as the radio. For me it is a source of difficulty at times. So got a good look and asked a number of questions.
On this day the atmospheric conditions were less than perfect making it difficult for the radio operators to make contacts.
Sadly the photos taken of the radio center has an error and I could only delete it. Not sure what happened. All in all it was a lot of fun. Will revisit next year.
