2005 ARRL Field Day
top of Carters Lake Dam, Oakman, GA. This is in northwest Georgia
about 45 miles southeast from Chattanooga. I attempted to operate
class 1A from Carters Lake Doll Mountain campground but due to
technical problems was not able to transmit much power. Later at
home in Acworth, GA, I made one 40 meter and one 20 meter class 1D contacts. This was Sunday, within the FD time window. The club
is composed of Western Electric, AT&T Network Systems, Lucent
Technologies retirees from the north Atlanta regional systems
engineering location. Thus the "We" in "Wedixie". The club's
site was a day-use picnic area and was thus Saturday daytime hours
only. I camped both Friday and Saturday nights. My wife Sue and
grandchildren Katie, Samantha, and Russell were with me, but
mostly for fishing instead of radio.
