Panama City Tailgate 041616

The Panama City Amateur Radio Club hosted the spring tailgate at the clubhouse.  The weather was slightly overcast and warmed up to around 70 degrees F, although I could have done with out the gusty breezes.  There were many members in attendance as well as hams from the surrounding areas.  It was a great chance to catch up with folks that I normally get to chat with only on the radio.  I brought my stepson, Michael, along. He assisted me with setting up my radio gear and participated in the fox hunt we had in the park next to the clubhouse.  Several people were there selling, some had set up radio gear and operated portable outdoors.  There was pulled pork, baked beans, chips and soft drinks for lunch and we provided testing at 1pm for anyone wanting to get their license or upgrade their license.



It was a great time.  Here is a short video showing a little of what went on.
