"CQ special event station." That was call from BEARS — the Bayouland Emergency Radio Service —on the banks of Bayou Teche in Franklin during last month's Black Bear Festival. The members of BEARS pictured here made a total of 50 contacts with other ham operators located in the eastern and central sections of the United States. These special event stations help spread the word about not only the festival but also about Franklin, the Bayou Teche and St. Mary Parish.
