Field Day - June 28 to 29, 2003

Field Day is an annual emergency preparedness exercise for amateur radio operators. It's serious business and a lot or work, but there is no rule that says it can't be fun too. This year, a team of rogue CW operators (Morse code) will travel to Genoa City, Wisconsin for the Field Day event of the century. Operating on sheer guts, a Coleman Powermate® generator and Cheetos®, these brave souls will operate non-stop (weather permitting) for 24-hours. It's an adventure that will live in infamy. Oh the humanity.
