Long shot of the CW position.

Jay and Rick watch Joe and Jack work a Delaware station on PSK31.  Boy did that get Pickett's juices flowing.  (he needs DE and WY for QRP WAS)

Another shot of the phone position Saturday afternoon.

Rick, K4RAB and Dick, K2UFT, making phone contacts on 6 meters on the back deck.  The rig was a MFJ transceiver.

Shot of the phone position.  The tent is Pickett's 35 year old Sears canvas and is still water proof.  It was made at the Fulton Bag (Mill) that just burned down last year.

Jack, K5FSE, Paul, K4HCM, Joe, W4JHR and Pickett, AD4S exchange "old ham" FD stories.

Pickett, AD4S, doing one of his favorite things.. working FD.  That's his FT-817 but the K2 worked so good we never got a chance to use the 817.

Let's see how 15 phone sounds. 

Pickett trying to work Delaware but no luck.

Peter, K3Zm

PSK31 Group

Rick, K4RAB, assembling his 6 meter beam.

Got another one..!!  Paul, Tom and Pickett.

Mike, KO4WX, pounding brass.  He also used his solar charged battery and K1 at this position.

Jack, K5FSE, gives Jay, K4OGG and live PSK31 demo..!

Dick, K2UFT.  It's a real education to watch this guy work a CW contest.  Dick was also good enough to pass our FD message on the Georgia CW Traffic net.

Another shot of the phone position and the museum quality antique tent.   That's Dan, KM2Z, making more contacts.
