Field Day 2025 is in the books. There are so many to thank for making another successful Field Day for the Club. This really begins with the Johnson County Parks Department and its maintenance crews for the improvements they have made to Hutton Farm, especially with the fantastic job done mowing.
Then there are those that helped load the truck and trailer on Thursday afternoon. The new Club mast and having everything organized makes the loading a quick and efficient event.
Setup Friday morning was quick thanks to the large number of volunteers helping. We were blessed to have a cool breeze during setup thanks to the outflow from some area storms making it quite pleasant. Thankfully, the storms remained distant as to not cause any delays with setup.
We did experience a few hiccups throughout Field Day. The CW station had some antenna struggles, but we have a plan for 2026. Storms overnight caused us to go offline for about 5 hours. More storms on Sunday forced us to shut down early, but all equipment and personnel remained safe. Thank you to all those that helped us remain safe and help tear down and cleanup.
We will have a debrief of Field Day 2025 at our first July meeting. The second July meeting is going to be a show-and-tell/Elmer night. Bring a project you are proud of to show off, or, if you have questions about your radio, antenna or other gear, bring that for help from an Elmer.
