The iPhone camera is pretty puny with almost no ability to manage anything about the photo.

In our case, we&#8217;ll be setting up radio operations at OK Ward Park in Pocatello. The radios will be powered by batteries. The antennas will be put up specifically for this event. The purpose is to exercise our skills at operating without power from the power company and in a place where we would not normally be.
