The predicted heat that didn't disappoint and an ill-timed shower of the garden variety that shut down the regular CW station made good and sure Field Day 2024 had a down side. But on a positive note, visitor logs with plenty of names on them were proof that the annual event at Ensor Park and Museum one, fulfilled some sort of a need, and two, certainly brought people together over a 24-hour period.

Every year, just like clockwork, the SFTARC has brough a little bit of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve to the rest of the amateur radio world. At the same time, we have brought the amateur radio into the public view. Those efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. As proof, the National Park Service has presented the SFTARC with a Volunteers-In-Parks Certificate to recognize our club's efforts for our May 2023 operation from the Tallgrass.
