In the PAARK with LAARK
On Saturday May 31, MARS hams got together with folks from the Lake Area Amateur Radio Klub (LAARK) to play radio at the Lions Club Park in The Colony. There was a chili cookoff and Andy
Smolenski, KI5YLX, took the grand prize whatever that was.
Perry Schrag, N0PAS, brought his terrific mobile tower to put up a multi-band Moseley beam furnished by Tom Yenny, K5LOL.
Also on hand were Bob Norris, N0IIL, George Williams, KG5GXU, Jordan Goodyear, W1JMG, Dale Hiatt, K5MAY, Kevin Grantham, N5KRG, Kim Walter, KI5ZOT, Liz Brown, K5EMB, David Strickland, KR8X, and Mike Brown, W5MDB. The food was great, the conversation fine, and a few QSOs were made as well. Thanks go to all who came out to have a good time.
