Lincoln Co. Amateur Radio Club Field Day Report 2009

I had such an awesome time on Field Day at Staples in Newport! My husband Bill and I primarily worked 80 meters. We made many contacts and helped interested persons (including youth) get on the air for the first time. It was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year!
