This is below 2017 and 2013, but higher than all other FD events in the past five years. A very good showing and a decent run given band conditions. More importantly we had a safe and fun event, albeit a little wet when the rain arrived for the tear-down.
Thanks to everyone that came out to set up stations, lend their gear, or just support our club's Field Day Event! I hope to see everyone again next year!
73, and thank you!
