[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Field Day 2007

[kd4fbt at cox.net]

Good Afternoon. 

Field Day is almost here.  This is an invitation to everyone on this reflector to join us for Field Day.  

We will be operating 1 CW station, 4 HF stations and 1 VHF/UHF station.  There should be ample opportunities for everyone to operate at least one station.  I am sure the band captains will enjoy taking a break from operating.  

Here is a special invitation to our newer hams.  If you think that you might want to try HF Side-Band operating, VHF Side-Band Operating, or CW operating, stop by on Saturday or Sunday so we can help you try a new and different side of Amateur Radio.  This can also be a great way to find out what is needed for a portable station.  

The weather forecast for Saturday is mostly sunny with a High in the upper 70s.  Sunday is also supposed to be mostly sunny with a High in the mid-80s.  We should have great weather for Field Day this year.  

Setup will start at 9:00 AM at the Nanny J. Lee Recreation Center in Alexandria.  This is next door to the Fire Training Center.  The Field Day stations will start operating at 2:00 PM and run for the next 24 hours.  

I hope to see you on Saturday.

73,
