"It's a wonderful thing!"

Smith Hill Lives!
The field known to Kankakee Area Hams as
"Smith Hill" has been procured indefinitely!
Thank you Bob!

This was certainly a highlight of our FD operation.  Howard AK9F purchased a potato cannon or "spud gun" at Dayton HamVention this year hoping to shorten the time required to hang the wire antennas here at our FD site.  It turned out to be a major hit!  There must have been 30 lbs of spuds launched over the course of the weekend.

Chip K9IOC shown here firing the potato cannon.  This contraption works surprisingly well.  Wire antennas in high trees will "never" be a problem again!

We must caution you that this is not a toy and
should "ONLY" be operated by an adult
with the understanding that this can be
 dangerous if used improperly!

KARS 2001 FD Chairman, Bob  N9MBR
has put together another very successful
Field Day weekend  for the KARS organization!
Thanks Bob!
