Field Day! Fort DeSoto! June 26-27, 2010

April 28th, 2010 | Category: Activities,General

W4A 5A WCF
IOTA NA034 Fl 1325
Mullet Key

Our park permit for 2010 is good Friday thru Monday so we can enjoy ourselves a little longer.

Set-up begins at 8AM, Saturday June 26. We begin operating at 2PM on Saturday and continue until 2PM Sunday June 27.

HOW TO GET THERE! : Go by the boat ramp and camp grounds…turn right at the big flag pole onto Anderson Blvd.

Entrance

You will see a sign that says Historic Fort and Fishing Pier right before the stone gate supports. Turn left on that road.

Sign

Follow the paved road…it will bend sharp to the right.

Watch on your left for a sand road with a sign that says “Park Dept. Vehicles Only”. Turn onto the sand road and follow it for a short distance and you will be in the set up area. Please stay on the mowed grass!

The road will bend right toward the Gulf of Mexico…

There will be an Osprey Nest on a pole to your left on the sand road… we must keep away or Ranger Bob will have a fit.

We will monitor our repeater (145.310 PL 103.5) and 147.550 simplex inside the park. Hope to see you there!

Sad day

July 13th, 2009 | Category: General

It is a sad day for everyone that knew Rick Crabtree, KG4MRH (the antenna, tower man).  Rick passed last night in his sleep at 55 years of age. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone with their antennas or any chore that needed muscle. I will miss the jokes he played on me, his humor and his ability to feed the group. Rick & Tracy were the planning department when it came to picnics and welcomed Udo & MJ’s kitchen to the Alphalpha Repeater Group. “You can’t have too many kitchens”, Rick stated.

Rick taught the antenna portion of our Tech Class and was a certified Lealman Special Fire District CERT member.

At this point in time I don’t think there will be any service just a large picnic in the future. I will keep you all informed.

73,
