Field day 2008 at WY3P Clint, W3ARS procured the
use of a field at beautiful Piney Run park for the weekend, where we had
a great time. Even got dumped on a time of two by heavy rain and
thunderstorms, however everyone (and their toys) survived. 15
meter SSB set a new QSO record (767 QSOs!). This year we decided
to put up FEWER towers and OPERATE MORE.
Now for some pictures...

2006 WY3P field day outing
In June, 2006 - WY3P set up camp at Spring Garden Elementary School in
Hampstead, MD for field day.
We ran in the category of 6 Alpha, with Monobanders on 20m SSB and
20m CW - a 15m Quad, 3 towers (AB/621 & AB/577's) and plenty of wires.
In addition to making lots of QSOs we survived many inches of rain
and local flooding - all while we were in the field. A true
emergency preparedness test!
Looking forward to doing it again next year. Thanks to Charlie,
KB3JDW for arranging and taking care of us at this GREAT location!
