| The first car into Nearfest One |
Looking down a midway as people arive and setup. |
 |
 |
| A Fest patron checking out one of two official Fest radio stations, this one WHTR was on 103.1 and the other
Pirate Ship Radio
was on 90.5. Both stations brought official fest news and PEWS warnings. (Pigleese Early Warning System) |
The crowds were better than in previous years and lots of stuff to buy. |
 |
 |
| The Viking looks tired already! |
K1WCC, N1BOI, and NS1N enjoying the weather. |

Here is the Viking and some guy who kept saying "Pica, Pica"? Every Festival needs these! |

What do you think is in the cup? Must have been the 'water of life'. |

| Rahj doing it! |
Q trying to do it!. |
 |
 |
| The Poohpah with his battery operated radio on his walking stick. This radio was a Ten Tec receiver with a 1 watt xtal controlled AM transmitter on 3885 KHz.
When the microphone was keyed the eyes in the skull on the walking stick lit up! The Viking was calling W1E but no one answered. |
The great Poohpah performing the ritual of 'GROUND' on a FESTER patron.
You see the story goes that during the year of playing with electricity HAMs develop a charge
on their opposing extremities and for health reasons it is imperative that this
gets equilized before things arc over. I believe that this is a UL requirement!
The portable ground being carried is 15.039 millisemens(sp) and is official Deerfield dirt!
This dirt will be ceremoniously placed at the foot of Q's tower for an
impressive 6db improvment in signal strength due to the Laplaciter effect. |
 |
 |
| The Viking being transported in the Brentina Personal Delivery Device (BPDD)!
Brent was either doing trash pickup or was it delivery?
