June 27, 2010 - Taking care of the long grass and weeds at the Field Day site! Thanks to Marv KC9IRT for bringing out his heavy duty mower. It was a lot easier for the crew to walk around the grounds to set up antennas once Marv went through with his mower. Photo: Rick W9WS

June 27, 2010 - The tri-band beam being installed by (l to r) John KC9PJG, Chris KC9NVV and Mike KC9JIK. A rotor is mounted on top of an extension mast so the beam antenna can be pointed in different directions depending on where signals are most prevalent. Photo: Rick W9WS

June 27, 2010 - One of the highlights of operating Field Day is the food. Dan KB9OBF is shown above making his famous Sunday Morning Pancakes for the crew. Operating radios is tough work... so Dan keeps everyone well fed. He also served as the clubs Chairperson for FD. Photo: Rick W9WS
