The Buffalo Lighthouse Crew, a group that by sheer happenstance, is made up of members from WNYDXA, has taken first place in the 2009 ARRL Field Day in category 2A-Battery. The Crew was also rewarded with being #8 in US/VE. Additionally, the crew was the highest scoring QRP group in the entire event!
