W4OWL is Famous! Kinda.

Here's the story. It's an odd one. Hope you don't mind a little rambling.
The Barred Owl Radio Club W4OWL got together in Floyd, VA last year for a great Field Day. All the rigs were Elecraft Kx3 running QRP battery and it was an fantastic event for a small group of friends. Not long after Field Day I came across a fellow that does watercolor drawings for business. Out of the blue I asked him if I could send him some pictures of our event and get his interpretation of it. He was all over it! For months we went back and forth and, in the end, I not only got a wonderful watercolor original and some prints for the rest of the team but he added an additional drawing which actually seems a bit more Elecraft-focused... so not so OT. Now I just got an email from the artist. He sent me a link to a magazine, something fairly obscure and not my style but who cares. The cool part is - well look at the link and turn to page 8. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eckDYihssqMTqQKhpPr71PYeiZ0HWOZt/view?usp=sharing That was the special bonus drawing he sent me. Here's the actual watercolor commissioned for the event. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R1zt1PincjMYW7snRDQ7MGHWIp6djWYp/view?usp=sharing I think I'm going to miss Field Day with the team this year but have to say... last year was so full of memories (ups - being with friends, first satellite contact for any of us; downs - My pug Ginger (aka Suga Puga passed away that weekend) it will always be remembered. I hope you enjoy these pictures. I hope the links work. 73, Kev K4VD One of the W4OWL crew. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Every Field Day needs rainbow Unicorns. Good for hanging antennas.

Really nice artwork! Have to laugh at the
Flying Spaghetti Monster, I referenced that on Facebook not 5 minutes before checking out the link. Been many months since the last time I even thought of it.
