EAARS 2009 7th District QSO Party photos


Welcome to the EAARS 2009 7th District QSO party contest

Here are some photos taken at the May 2009 7QP contest. See Field Day and 7QP statistics on main EAARS page

This is EAARS 2nd year participating in this contest. The photos tell the story. We began earlier in the week on Wednesday, by bringing the bus and tower trailer to the site. Early Thursday morning, we began assemblying tower sections and antennas. Then the crane arrived and we errected the towers and antennas. The crane was a lifesaver in time and physical labor. Thanks to Richard N7XEU.
