Who doesn’t love starting summer off with a barbecue? Especially when the company is a bunch of ham operators! This year everyone showed up on time (or maybe even a bit too early – if you ask our cooks!) and were ready to socialize. One of our members even brought a quad copter out to have some fun on the top of the hill at Purple Woods. Everyone had a great time and we had lot of burgers left over to use for Field Day next week.
