Progress continues to be made on the new ARES Communications trailer!  We now have a professionally installed roof mount AC unit, thanks to Three Way Campers in Kennesaw, GA.  The wiring has been completed, thanks to Les Wilding - K4OL, and the flooring, cabinets and countertop for the station areas are in the process of being installed, thanks to Ron West - WB3ILX.  We used the trailer during our 2011 Field Day setup and used it for the Digital station.  Everyone involved can safely say that the AC unit works GREAT!  Some pictures, mainly showing the progress being made to the interior can be found by clicking on the Gallery link above, or go straight to the pictures by clicking here .  Thanks again to everyone involved in the project and we will add more pictures soon.
