CTARC Field Day Report Back - Nov '14

On Saturday 15 November, the CTARC met to run a field station for the SARL Field Day exercise.

Danny, ZS1BL, Shaun /ZS1RA and Nick /ZS1ZD were there in the morning. Hylton /ZR1HPC joined us later on. We also met Jrko, a Polish gentleman who lives in the area and who is an authority on the manufacture of crystals for the RF industry.

Radio propagation conditions were less than ideal, and while attendance of this event was probably limited because of poor weather conditions, we look forward to more active field day events in future.
