The DARC held Field Day 2025 at the Johnston Outpost YMCA, and the air-conditioned location was as popular as ever. The only complaints heard concerned the Afterglow Movie: Colossus, the Forbin Project was apparently a bit too realistic. As other clubs wound down their operations, operators came to visit the DARC site late at night on Saturday and early on Sunday morning. A group project on Sunday morning netted us copies of the ARRL Field Day Bulletin. The big tear-down crew on Sunday finished the job in record time and there was plenty of cold water for all.
I hope that you got on the air! This year, the statistics have one improvement of the report from 2024: at long last, Travis KI5PGM is TM, and Tony NT5TM is AM. You’ll see the individual operator statistics near the end of the report.
