Another Field Day comes to a close. As always, it was not only great to participate in something worldwide, but to bring our club together to make it all happen. What a wonderful opportunity to see so much that is not always available to many of us. New equipment, new techniques, new methods and types of operation plus the old standards of our hobby still strong as ever to be experienced.
Then there is the opportunity to meet and greet new folks but especially spend time with our fellow members in the off time. It is also a terrific opportunity to bring family and friends to show them what varied sorts of things we do and maybe spark a new interest. It’s a win win! Oh yes then there is the food too. Least I not forget that. Fabulous!
I certainly hope that everyone had as much fun as I did and truly hope we can make it all happen together again next year.
