NARL site hit by Fridays twister (everyone is OK)

I was talking to Chuck (AB1CR) while looking at the damage.  He said everyone was fine, but the entertainment was sure hard to beat!

I hope to add some of the more fun operating pictures, but here is some of the site damage.

Usually where I pitch my tent! One year ago today, KB1KIX was running a pre-field day special event station where the branches now reside.

The house barely escaped with minor wire damage.

Field Day Pics – W1EDH setting up

If you’re part of a Region 3 group and have some pictures, send ‘em my way to kb1kix ‘at’ arrl.net and I’ll add them here for all to see!

I stopped by their site today and it was pretty neat.  They had walls…. and a generator.  I don’t think there’s a reall class for that!  Nice setup and trailer.

Unloading the trailer and setting up

I'd show you the before and after, but too much time passed and the mood was the same. That dang VX-8 is tough to program (I told Don the manual pictures were in English!)
