San Antonio Hams

Field Day 2009 – San Antonio Photos – Part 2 of ???

Chuck W5API and David WS5Q setting up the GOTA station Andrew Watson KD5NNN has kindly emailed us 24 photos that he took during the first day of the Field Day weekend event in San Antonio, TX. This was the combined FD event with 6 clubs participating. Unfortunately, he managed to catch me in some of these photos, and I’m normally on the other side of a camera when photos are taken. Oh well, fair is fair, I guess. 🙂

And as usual, please help us in identifying the hams in each photo. If we’ve failed to identify a person properly or not at all, please post a comment letting us know which photo to update and we’ll get it taken care of.

Here are his photos…. He’s promised me more photos later on….

Enjoy!
