We had 9 students participate over the week. Four even came in on the Schools day off, Monday to operate. The only antenna we had, had some storm damage. On the Friday before we restrung the end of the antenna that came loose from a tree limb. On Monday as we started to operate, we found out that the antenna was caught on the back side of the kitchen chimney. Jim Harris got the Aiken Public Service Ladder Truck 1 to move the wire from being caught on the back side, to hanging free high in the air. Chris Medlin, KJ4NZG and Jarrod Fothergill, K1LVA, who were the fire fighters that manned the ladder
