OT: Looking for Field Day Site, Columbia SC

All,

I have an acquaintance in the Columbia, SC, area, who is interested in
getting into amateur radio. I suggested that Field Day would be a great
place for him to really get a good look at today's amateur radio. When I
checked the ARRL Field Day Locator, there are no sites listed yet for
Columbia. Does anyone on list know of any Field Day activities in Columbia?
He lives in the Lexington/West Columbia/South Congaree areas, but I'll
happily provide him info on any Field Day site anywhere in Metro Columbia.

Thanks for your help.

73 de,

--Ian

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. I'll pass the info along.

Columbia:

Yes, the ARRL website lists all clubs in a given area.

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.

Henry...

The poster is/was looking for a site where a group was going to hold FD,
-not- a place to hold a FD event.

Re: OT: Looking for Field Day Site, Columbia SC

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. I will crawl back into my hole now...may the reflector gods
forgive me...
