FW FARMER'S MARKET APPLE FESTIVAL & FUN RUN
The Federal Way Farmers Market Apple Festival Fun Run is the third in a series of four fun runs in Federal Way this year. The Apple Festival Fun Run will take place on Saturday August 2nd at 8:30 am. Run headquarters is at the Heritage Bank at the corner of Highway 99 & 324th Street. Run start/finish is at the start of the BPA Trail. FWARC radio support has been requested by the event organizers. Hams will be deployed throughout the race course to keep an eye on the participants and to keep them on-course. Because of the increased responsibilities, we need more hams to help. If you would be willing to support this fun run or for more details, please contact Jerry-KC7AUW.

A SOGGY START TO FIELD DAY 2014
Many thanks to everyone who came out the FWARC's Field Day site on Saturday June 28th in spite of the rain. I think we all had a great time even when the rain was coming down in buckets. The group put up three antennas this year. We had 20 meter dipole, and 40 meter dipole, and an end fed vertical all up in the air. We operated 2A with a GOTA station. Our longest contact was to the South Cook Islands (northeast of New Zealand). We were visited by a good handful of members from the LDS Church as well as some of our newest club members stopped by to see what Field Day was all about. Once we fired up the grill, the rain stopped and we enjoyed lots of good food towards the end of the day. |
