FIELD DAY 2007 @ KA2BEO

It was great to see Dan, KA2BMI and his family this year at the Old Barney 
Amateur Radio Club (OBARC) Field Day site. The setup was at Wells Mills 
County Park in Waretown, NJ. We even caught a Bluegill in the park pond 
during the event on Saturday, 06/23/2007. We didn't get to stay long, but 
logged a few points for the club, operating as N2OB (and N2CW for the GOTA 
station) with a 3A-SNJ exchange. Natalie worked W8TN in MI and W4DW in NC 
on 40m SSB using the GOTA station. There were 111 GOTA contacts overall. 
The entire operation was very nice back at the original park. One photo 
shows Bob from a local FM radio station operating live in a remote mobile 
unit. During our ride home, we heard Dan and other Hams being interviewed 
at the event by the local FM radio station (WYRS), during the Gene Shepard 
show on 90.7 FM. The traffic going toward the event was heavy, but the 
returning traffic was stand-still for 8 miles. We had to take an alternate 
route home. We camped out that night in the backyard, but only listened 
around on the bands, without transmitting. We were too tired to do any 
operating on Sunday, but did enjoy the weekend overall. 73, Rob (KA2BEO).
