Sept 22, 2001 was HF Day dedicated to new and newly upgraded hams to see, touch and operate HF rigs, ask questions and get advice from old timers.
It was a beautiful blue sky day at Sand Island Park as over 40 hams and ham-wannabes came out from 10 AM until almost 5 PM. Seven stations were set up with everything from QRP, SSB, RTTYand CW. First QSO went to Finland followed by Sakhalin Island (Russia), Argentina, Japan, Australia and a bunch of states.
Special thanks to two guys, Kimo KH7U and Walt AH6OZ for efforts over and beyond the call of duty to make the day a success.
