FIELD DAY 2018

Thank Jim WW7DD and Cynatha WW7CA

For the use of your beautiful place, we could

not have asked for more perfect weather!

Signs lit the way as Field Day participants made

the beautiful drive up Addy-Cedonia Road.

View from the house was stunning, tower looming in the

back ground. Solar panels was used as a power source.
