Winter Field Day Results
Winter Field Day this year was an overwhelming success. We would like to say a special thank you to Caesar Creek Flea Market for being such great hosts for this year’s event. Additionally we would also like to thank all those CCARA members who came out to help get the “shack” fixed up and setup to operate. It was very much a team effort. Thanks to all those who showed up to participate or just say hi! We operated 3 stations for the event connected to 3 antennas including a G5RV and a MFJ2012 OCFD. Icom 7300s were used throughout the entire event and an Icom 7200 was used for day 1.
