\"ARRL We’ve had a really busy day here in San Antonio so far, starting around 8am to set up our stations, get banners up near the entrance, sign in table ready, wireless logging networks up and tested, and of course the pointy end of the antennas pointing toward the sky, and the coax end feeding into our stations. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’ll post more details later on, but here are some photos taken today, for the first day’s happenings.\u00a0\u00a0 High temp was 108 degrees outside, no clouds, by late afternoon Saturday, according to the “unofficial” thermometer\u00a0at the REACT RV station.\u00a0\u00a0 Strong winds blew thru around 9pm Saturday night, gusting to more than 25-30 mph, blowing over at least one of the pop-up tents used (previously)\u00a0for the 2 meter station.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ve had nearly 100 hams tour our event so far, including the ARRL Legistative PAC representative from Austin, John Stratton, KE5ISX,<\/strong> who was also \u00a0representing Dr. David Woolweaver, Vice Director Gulf Division of ARRL, who just didn’t seem able to make it to each field day site in\u00a0Texas like Santa Claus always seems to do on Christmas Eve.\u00a0 John did bring us\u00a010 dozen\u00a0Krispy Kreme donuts for our over-night snacks and Sunday breakfast.\u00a0 (Note: The donuts\u00a0disappeared so fast, that my count might be off by a box or two. – Lee)<\/p>\n
