>> Field Day Pictures.. This year I traveled to
14 different Field Day Sites, I would have gone to more, but I simply ran out
of time. I drove just under a 1,000 miles to be with all of you at your sites.
I had a blast visiting with all of you, and the food was delicious. I have
posted a bunch of pictures of various Field Day sites around Ohio on the
website http://arrl-ohio.org/fd/index.php
If you have not seen them yet, you really need to.. Who knows, you may
even be featured in one of those pictures!

concerns about the Ohio Section you can always call or write me anytime..
Have a great 4th of July, but most of all, be SAFE.
73, Scott, N8SY..
