2007 ARRL Field Day in a county park at Riverside, Iowa. The daughter of Jerry Schroder (KCØWWV) operating and my youngest son, Mitch, logging the contacts with me, (ABØDX), in the middle.
Isn't it good to see young people take an interest in Ham radio???

The WAARC supported the OCV Boy Scout Star Trek Camporee, October 27, 2018 at Hall Park, Riverside, IA.
We had 8 groups of scouts throughout the day joining us in our heated Comm trailer.
Many of the scouts and leaders were interested in Amateur Radio and took literature home.
The HF bands were disappointing, between contests and lack of response on the WARC bands, but 2 meters and WAARC club members saved the afternoon by making contacts with willing scouts.
