Jim Walker called our attention to this transcription of an interview that

details how prisoners of war during WWII were able to build a radio while 

imprisoned and were able to learn something about what was going on

with the war.  This is pretty amazing stuff (at least to me)

Here is a handy pdf file you might want to print and keep as a handy reference, especailly for new Hams.

Longmont Amateur Radio Club

Field Day 2009

Location:  Old Thompson Park, Longmont, Colorado

Date:  27^th June 2009

Five club members showed up about 9:30 am to help set up the antennas in the tall trees in this historic park in Old Town Longmont.  We had three stations, two with G5RV antennas, and one with a 20 m dipole.

We had 9 people present and operating consistently during the day.  A few others made appearances but did not get in a picture.  Sebastian, and others came by to see how it was going.

We made 107 contacts and totaled 550 points, 200 more points than we made in 2008.  We had a Red Cross official, Joe Callahan, make an appearance for a while; there were about 10 people who dropped by wondering who we were and what we were doing.  

Thanks to everyone who made this event happen.
