[sdgares] Field Day 2022 photo album
ARES Members,
Here is a link to a photo album with shots taken at some of the San Diego County 2022 Field Day sites:
sdgares.groups.io
If you see a photo caption with someone misidentified, please let me know.
You spent countless hours preparing for Field Day, and it showed!
It was wonderful to visit with so many hams, to catch up, and to meet some people for the first time.
The public sites did fantastic work reaching out as ham radio ambassadors.
Thanks for the hospitality!
. . . Rob
