The 2007 Picnic was held on a hot August day. Fortunately Peru's cooling breezes kept blowing for most of it and kept it from getting too hot, but plenty of cooling beverages were consumed anyway.

W1EQO and W1AUV deep in discussion over a couple cold ones.  W1BS in background.  Probably W1TO's pants in the middle and an unidentified ear on the right.

Along with plenty of food... I think this was the end of the fresh pie.

W1TO finishes off the pie.

Good use was made of the shade under the tarps over the deck.

Left to right more or less... Tom, N1MM Standing, Pat N1LZH sitting under Tom's chin, Steve N1SR standing in back, Sigurd KJ1K sitting, Mike K1MK standing, Bruce N1YCW sitting, the back of Jim W1EQO's head, Joe W1BS standing, Tom W1AUV sitting, and Gerry W1VE on the right.

K1RX and W1TO presided over a short YCCC meeting to induct new members and pass out door prizes that included some mugs, maps, and books.

Mark K1RX and Tom W1TO.

There was a little bit of operating going on, but it was pretty warm in the shack even with the window fan going.

And of course the Lucky Dog took the pack on a tour of the antennas.

Left to right.. Matt W1MAT, Mark K1RX, John WA1ZHM partially hidden in back, Tom W1AUV, Will WC2L(ex NA2NA), Jose N1BAA (ex N4BAA), Eric KV1J, Me, Lucky Dog leading the way... He knows the antenna tour path pretty well by now.

The tour started at the new 80m 4-square site.  Most people kept safely to the shady side of the clearing.

Left to right... Sevi, son of N1BAA, a couple arms I can't identify, Tom W1AUV, John WA1ZHM, Joe W1BS, Frandy N1FJ, Jim W1EQO, Jose N1BAA, Gerry W1VE, Mark  K1RX, Eric KV1J, Matt W1MAT.

 

Its definately hard to get a good picture of this antenna.

There were a few shady spots to view the rest of the antennas.

I'm not going to try to identify all the backsides.

This is pretty much the same group as above... Left to right.. N1SR, W1MAT, KV1J, W1VE, W1AUV?, W1EQO, K1RX, W1BS, N1FJ, WC2L, N1BAA, Sevi, WA1ZHM.

The Lucky Dog lets the tour narrator do his thing while everyone else stands in the sun.  He was nice and cool from a dip in the pond.

Left to right... Lucky Dog, Me, and an unidentified stomache.
