Recap: HAM in the Park – May 27, 2023

Palmetto Amateur Radio Club was holding its first event in 2023. After a long time of silence, we are finally out there again and making QSOs in parks.

We hope this began a long and successful string of many more events. We started setting up our equipment around 0845 EDT. The location was perfect, and the weather couldn’t have been better. The field had a few small spots underwater but nothing that would keep us from starting a fun and perfect Saturday. All radios were powered by Battery/Solar energy, so no grid power was used at all.

We had four rigs set up. The rigs were provided by Ben Echavarria (N7BBE), David Pomerantz (KO4DKN), Mike Sam (KF4ZW), and Charlie Artner (KN4VDW).

Around noon we had Pizza and Water sponsored by Fred Perkins (WB4BAG) and Tyler (KQ4ETQ). Also at the event were Richard Trowell (WD4FCJ), Grumme (W4GRU), and Howard Alexander (KM4TMW).

I apologize if I forgot anybody. I should have had a sign-in sheet, but I didn’t. We definitely will have one next time around.

Enjoy the picture below, and if you have taken some pictures, please send them to me so I can post them here.

And on this note, I want to remind you that if you are a club member, join us on Groups.io for club-related information and special announcements.
