SPC's and 79 QSO's on 15, 20 and 40 meters. Beautiful
sunny 70's day. Team of K4BX, KS4TD and N4EO operated with club call W4GGM for about 5 hours from Holland Hill, the site of Civil War skirmishes in Columbia, TN, 40 miles south of Nashville, TN. This is private property and old breastworks are still visible on the landscape. Numerous Minnie balls and other similar projectiles have been found by “treasure” hunters on the site (I have a few of these myself - N4EO). General Nathan B. Forrest’s Columbia encampment is now the site of an adjacent subdivision (Forrest Acres). Columbia is better known as the Mule Capital of the World with mule auctions in the 1800’s involving the sale of as many as 30,000 mules each spring season. More recently our mules have served in Afghanistan! Tennessee is second only to Virginia in the number Civil War battles and skirmishes fought on its soil. A good time was had by all. 73, N4EO |
