Field Day Wrap Up
Wichita ARC obtained a proclamation from the city of Wichita designating
the week leading up to Field Day as Amateur Radio Week. S.E.K. ARC held
Field Day at Big Brutus in West Mineral. Not a lot of trees there but
the countys portable tower helped the club get antennas up in the air.
Iola ARC operated at the QTH of KD0GHA in La Harpe. They had fans ready
but didn’t need them because this was some of the best Field Day
weather in recent memory.
