Good weather, great place to have a picnic in the newly remodeled Utica park in Angels Camp a lot of eye to eye QSO’s were passed between hams and friends as 4 clubs had a communal picnic. Everyone walked away stuffed! Another precedent was set when we also had 4 club presidents in attendance, TCARS, Amador, Lodi and Calaveras.
