Folks happy to be here and willing to get up early to support the effort. Be it support in the kitchen or with the hardware, or just plain old camaraderie, we enjoy each other's company and that is reward enough for all our efforts. You can see the Civic Center was recently restored. It provides a unique setting for many occasions. And, if you get a little hot, well run down to the sea and jump in.
Life is good here in north Palm Beach County, hi hi.
Operations Amateur Radio Field Day is a special event held annually by hundreds of thousands of amateur radio operators throughout the US and Canada for the purpose of simulating less than ideal conditions for radio communications. During an emergency there may not be power, but there will be the need for a communications network. You may have to operate outside, and here at the Civic Center we spend 30 hours outside and adapt our equipment to the conditions at hand. We provide our own power and distribution network. We adapt antennas and transceivers and ourselves to achieve peak performance.
