Bay County Hams Camping Out for Field Day June 25/26

I am joining two other campers from Bay County, Florida to participate in ARRL Field Day at Falling Waters State Park near Chipley, FL. We will operate under separate calls using our own portable gear. We will contribute our points to The Panama City ARC. We get points by contacting other stations in the US and Canada.  I have chosen to operate at five watts station on battery power. Field Day starts at 1 pm CDT Saturday and lasts twenty-four hours. Saturday morning is a great time if you want to visit and see my setup. I am at campsite 5.

Good Luck on Field Day,

Greg N4KGL
