1 site 1 site:


Harold (N4HRL) picked the site this year. Our event centered around the Archer shelter, which had a lot more
amenities than we're used to, including flush toilets and a refrigerator. We were also right by the lake but
that didn't really do much for us besides featuring some canadian geese. There was also a playground nearby,
as well as a jogging path, so in theory it would have made a good "family event", but we didn't really have
any kids show up. The topography was a bit hilly but not quite as much of a hike as you'd get someplace like
Ingawanis. We also had lots of room to sprawl and try spacing out our stations, although we were in somewhat
of a hole that appeared to limit our propagation. We had difficulty checking in on one of the local HF nets.
