Field Day 2010 in northwest Arkansas

By Kevin Thornton, K5KVN - Public Information Officer, District L

Field Day in northwest Arkansas was huge!  I enjoyed visiting five sites:

• K5GOE at the University of Arkansas, where UAPD officers and an elected official from Westville, Okla., stopped by.
• N5NTI at American Red Cross in Tontitown, set up with a "go kit" for emergency power.
• AA5AR at American Red Cross in Tontitown, where some new hams got a chance to operate Field Day for the first time.
• WC5AR at the Washington County Emergency Operations Center in Fayetteville, where members of the Fayetteville Fire Department got on the air.
• Benton County Radio Operators at Frisco Park in Rogers, complete with the Benton County Emergency Services command vehicle.

Here is a video of operations from AA5AR and photos from the sites I mentioned above.
