[K3PZN-List] FD: Freedom Park Info - looking good!!!

Clint
Are you the Field Day chair? I received a call back from the Freedom 
Rec Council and they schedule the ball field and sports events. I 
have a name and number I will call Monday morning at the CC 
Department of Parks and Recreation.  After discussing the area we 
were interested in, the Freedom Coordinator concluded we could 
coexist with them even if they have hockey playoffs the next field 
over. I have her endorsement. In fact, she offered to pass our info 
on to the Sykesville Eagle (local paper). For the moment I listed 
myself as the contact and can switch that to you Clint or run with 
it as necessary.

If no games are going on, it may be possible to set up at the end of 
the hockey field just on the other side of the woods from the area I 
was talking about which could possibly leave a noise buffer area 
beween the generator and several of the stations. I really haven't 
walked the grounds, but looked it over from the car.

If anyone wants to meet up with me, we can go over and scout it a 
little more.

Having the ok from the Rec Council will go a long way toward getting 
the area. I don't think we could get it approved without them.
