We use the local parks as well..........
Field day is held annually at this time of year to practice emergency communications skills while working with off grid power. To make it fun all the ham radio clubs across the nation compete in a contest to see who can get the most contacts/points. We had three towers up with 10m, 20m and 40m beam antennas. Also strung up some mutli band G5RV and 80m dipoles.
