Small gathering at Lake Wailes for contest and Chili successful
Feb. 4, 2006
The nasty wet weather stopped just in time for the "Freeze Your buns off" CW contest. Jack K4BYF set up his Elecraft CW transceiver and a 20 Meter dipole for the event. Jack made around a dozen contacts before the band swung out to europe.

Joe AD4IH brought the spicy Chili which was all consumed in a couple of hours.

A total of ten, the expected number, were present, and engaged in eating and conversation.

There may be more unofficial mini-events in the future so stay tuned.

The 'early birds' at this mini-event.
