PAST EXPLOITS
We had a successful Field Day 2002 at the Colby Airport.
An otherwise mundane 2002 spotting season featured a "misbehaving" gust front that morphed into a tornado, north of Levant June 19.
Using some TARC equipment, Mike K0FJ+ and Bruce K0BJ provided HF comms for the April 2001 Hoisington KS tornado.
