Oops...I have sinned! I did what I have seen others do - respond too quickly without fully understanding the question. I apologize for the misdeed.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Looking for Field Day Site, Columbia SC
Thanks, Larry. Some of these are new since I looked Sunday. At that time, the closest site to Lexington was in Camden. A couple of the sites showing now should work.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Looking for Field Day Site, Columbia SC
Ian, One potential site may be the Congaree National Park. It is just south of Columbia. They do have a camping site location, there are rest rooms and plenty of parking for cars and trucks. I just did a drive-by and short visit last week on the way to a job in Augusta. There is no admittance fee to enter the park. The negatives are that it is in a low area along the Congaree River and the mosquito factor may be high in June. Not sure what their restrictions may be on radio operations. 73, Henry - K4TMC Raleigh, NC On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 10:47 AM, Ian - Ham km4ik@gmail.com wrote: All, I have an acquaintance in the Columbia, SC, area, who is interested in getting into amateur radio.
