Any AMRAD members at Fied Day?

[fgentges at mindspring.com]

I was out at the K4LRG site at the VHF station.  We worked a number of 
sky wave QSOs from noon to 2 PM on 6 meters.  That station worked out 
well.  Bill Fenn also came out.

We also had a group of recent Technician class graduates getting their 
Baofeng UV5R radios with a short class.  Once done they went around 
field day getting first class introduction to field day plus some on the 
air operation.  At least one youngster was really hooked at the VHF 
station with over 10 QSOs with little help.
