[Elecraft] W4OWL is Famous! Kinda.

[Kevin der Kinderen]

Here's the story. It's an odd one. Hope you don't mind a little rambling.

The Barred Owl Radio Club W4OWL got together in Floyd, VA last year for a
great Field Day. All the rigs were Elecraft Kx3 running QRP battery and it
was an fantastic event for a small group of friends.

Not long after Field Day I came across a fellow that does watercolor
drawings for business. Out of the blue I asked him if I could send him some
pictures of our event and get his interpretation of it. He was all over it!
For months we went back and forth and, in the end, I not only got a
wonderful watercolor original and some prints for the rest of the team but
he added an additional drawing which actually seems a bit more
Elecraft-focused... so not so OT.

Now I just got an email from the artist. He sent me a link to a magazine,
something fairly obscure and not my style but who cares. The cool part is -
well look at the link and turn to page 8.

That was the special bonus drawing he sent me.

Here's the actual watercolor commissioned for the event.

I think I'm going to miss Field Day with the team this year but have to
say... last year was so full of memories (ups - being with friends, first
satellite contact for any of us; downs - My pug Ginger  (aka Suga Puga
passed away that weekend) it will always be remembered. I hope you enjoy
these pictures. I hope the links work.
