    I spent a lot of time at my home club, PART, during Field Day. In fact I spent most of the Saturday there. As you have probably noticed the PART club was operating three stations plus VHF and a satellite station. I do believe there were over 50 people on site at various times during Field Day. Their most exciting accomplishment was to work the ISS during a pass on Saturday.

    I did visit the Waltham Club at Prospect Hill Park on Saturday. They had just a small group with one station on the air. Not much activity. Only three members were in attendance while I was there.

    [Editors note: Ron KG1T reported on WARA64 email list for Saturday: "We got set up and operated under battery power. Our hotdog consumption ratio was 7:9 hotdogs:QSOs." ]

    On Sunday I ventured out to visit the Nashoba Amateur Radio club. They were operating in an orchard in Pepperell. Good location and a good 100ft portable tower with a triband antenna on top. I met a very old friend of mine (K1IK). We were both members of the long defunct Chelmsford Amateur Radio Association. We had attended CAARA Field Days together back in the early 1970's and had not seen each other since

    I then motored off to visit the Billerica Field Day site on RT 110 in Chelmsford but got there way too late. Field Day was over and most of the crew had already gone home.
