Reply To: 2024 Winter Field Day @ Cooper Lake

    All,

    Following the Club meeting yesterday (Saturday, January 27), I went to Cooper Lake State Park and met Charles (WA5VHU) and Cindy (KD5CCB) Penry, Mark Johnson (W5PTX) and Cliff Leath (KI5OPP).  I spent a few hours with them, departing just before dark.  I have to tell you – I had a blast and I think that Kathy and I will be taking our RV and meeting the group do to it next January.

    While I was there contacts were made with HI, OH, FL, NJ and many other states.  Multiple contacts in some of those states.  Oh, and Ontario.  Anyway, it was great. Unlike the scorching heat of the Summer Field Day, this was very pleasant.  Here are a few pictures:

    If you haven’t considered Winter Field Day before, let me encourage you to consider it for next January.  Mark it on your calendar now – Saturday, January 25, 2025.
