Photographs

Does anyone else still call them photographs?

Cumberland Amateur Radio Club K3IEC Field Day provides many photo-opportunities.  

Andy Forsyth AF3I is shown using the Sherrill Tree Big Shot arborist tool to place our antenna ropes high into the tree canopy.

Ed LeTersky, KB3RKM and Jim Binkley, K3GPS look on in amazement.

This tool can easily fire a weighed pull-string 100 feet in height enabling the Antenna Installation Team to pull up a more substantial rope, followed by the dipole antenna.

AF3I is looking for something.  It takes a lot of gear to make for a successful Field Day.  It’s in there, somewhere.

Butter Sculpture

Each year the Pennsylvania Farm Show features a very large Butter Sculpture with a Farming theme.  This is  a bit of ham radio humor coupled with that theme.
