[Elecraft] OT: Looking for Field Day Site, Columbia SC

[Henry Pollock - K4TMC]

Ian,

One potential site may be the Congaree National Park.  It is just south of
Columbia.  They do have a camping site location, there are rest rooms and
plenty of parking for cars and trucks.  I just did a drive-by and short
visit last week on the way to a job in Augusta.  There is no admittance fee
to enter the park.  The negatives are that it is in a low area along the
Congaree River and the mosquito factor may be high in June.  Not sure what
their restrictions may be on radio operations.

73,

Raleigh, NC
