HBO Radio Club/SPARC Field Day 2005
The Home Box Office Amateur Radio Club and the Suffolk Police Amateur Radio Club
For the second year the HBO Radio Club combined efforts with the Suffolk Police Amateur Radio Club to produce a truly enjoyable Field Day.
We had fun, made a bunch of contacts and introduced Amateur Radio to a few people. Here are some pictures:
