[LeArc] Field Day 2007/2008

[Steve Hays]

Brandon,
I agree, we do need to have a Field Day event.
When the ink on my ticket was still wet (almost dry now) I was invited
to a Field Day event in the area of Minnesota that I lived in. What an
awesome experience that was for a new Ham. It also allowed my wife and
young son to meet those faceless people I had been talking to on the
radio.
It is a wonderful event and I would certainly attend with family,
tent, and antennas (or whatever else was needed that I have or could
aquire) in tow.

73,
Steve
