A part 15 test field day?

Edited addition > Hello all,

There is a problem with my proposal that I didn't think about but was made known by one of the other owners of the land when I ran the idea by them. So I will have to withdraw the offer to use the land. Sorry . Maybe something else can be arranged?

Neil end of edit.

I was thinking on how that would be a great idea. But would it not be better to test them in a surburban setting?

Some reason this reminds me of the Little Rascals

Thinking of everyone with their setups reminds me of the Silver Submarine Band from the Little Rascals when they played at the radio station. They were also known as Our gang
