With some problems, but much help, the BAARC operation at the 2001 Jaycees' Fishing Extravaganza is now complete, with over 13,000 participating in the fishing. A 6 and a half pound walleye won the Ford pickup. On our side, we had 9 hams participating and the event went over with lots of traffic, but the largest problem was a blown power supply fuse. Guess it was just getting tired of being on and off and decided to quit. There are replacement fuses in stock, NOW.
Allen, KBØUUL; Roger, WØWUG; Jim, KCØANQ; Al, WØRC; Paula, WØHA; John, WØJGY; Russ, KCØHAQ; Orcy, WØQT and Ken, KAØJSW all participated. We didn't have enough hams to allow for rotating and getting operators off the ice for a break.
Congratulations to all who participated. Those who didn't, for one reason or other, missed a great event and a fun one. The Jaycees have expressed their thanks for our operation, which helped them several ways.
Several things occurred, which will be discussed and hopefully will lead to a smoother operation in 2002.
