Fox Hunt: No news.
Field Day was a huge success! We had a designation of '3-A' this year with an estimated 263 contacts made. GOTA station report to follow. Also, a few VHF-UHF contacts were made. As always, it was about the food! Our greatest thanks to Karen Schulze and Kim Harrison for spoiling us again this year! We had several people stop and of course they had to ask what we were doing! We happily shared our experiences, goals, and excitement with all who would listen. Brian Bridgeford, from the Baraboo News Republic, came to our field day site on Sunday. He wrote a nice article that appeared on the front page of the BNR on June 29, 2009. Thank you Brian! Field day pictures have been added to our website: www.yellowthunder.org. Let's do it again next year!
