The Benzie County ARPSC and the Benzie Amateur Radio Friends operate a field day every year at the public park in Benzonia Michigan along US-31

Tradition has it that we meet for breakfast at the Hungry Tummy before we go up to the site and setup.  Here is a small collection of photos ( more will be added as we get them )
