Field Day recap

Greetings,

Well another Field Day in the books and as always a fun weekend club event.

We operated 2A with a GOTA station. A few visitors stopped by and operated. We also had a visit from the ARRL VA Section Manager Mike Aimone (WA8AHZ).

I want to thank everyone who came out, participated, assisted with the planning, setup, tear-down and support.

I would like to give an extra special thank you to Paul Tablar (KK4AIA) who "camped out" at the sheriffs office overnight to maintain the integrity of our set up and equipment.

We did experience some antenna/propagation issues that we will need to review for next years field day.

Thank you again to all who helped out. Without you we would not have had this event.

Just a reminder there is no July or August meeting. The next regular club meeting will be Wednesday September 2, 2026. There will be the 2nd and &4th Wednesday ZOOM nets. Announcement and logon Information will be coming under separate cover.

Keep your eyes for an email from Henry regarding the Annual Pizza party which will be Wednesday August 5. Henry K2BFY, will be emailing out the information as to time and place.

73,

Kevin
