Skywide gathered at Home Smith Park along the Humber River for a relaxed campfire & HF evening organized by Ken Baine (VA3KEX) — good company around the fire, snacks, and HF on the air after dark.

Quick recap

Several HF stations were set up, and members stayed later than planned. The evening was a low-key social outing (not a contest or Field Day), and it was well received enough that Ken planned to poll interest in another night before colder weather — possibly with astronomy / stargazing next time.
