Hello all, 

The IPRC Summer Field Day Weekend Event is now less than two weeks away.  Here are some pictures of IPRC members setting up antennas and making some preparations for the event on Sunday, the 13th.  It was a beautiful day for it, and the weather cooperated.  We got a lot done and really shortened our setup time for the event.  Less setup time and more operating time ... that's a win. 

We were also paid a visit by a photographer and reporter from the MountainEar newspaper who did a short interview with club members about the upcoming event.  Thank you to Sal and Karen, Kirk from the MountainEar, and to all who came out to help.
