[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Digital Mode Session for 4/28 is Cancelled

[Don (KI4D)]

The Jefferson Manor Park 4/28 digital mode practice session is cancelled due
to insufficient turn-out. Cancellations with for weather or insufficient
turn-out will normally be announced on Fridays by email  The remaining
sessions are scheduled for:

 

*	May 5th
*	May 12th
*	May 19th
*	May 26th
*	June 2nd

 

All digital mode practice sessions will be held at Jefferson Manor Park,
8:00-1130 a.m.  If you plan to attend one of these sessions, please send me
an email so that we can plan to have adequate resources available.

 

Please keep in mind that the purpose of the digital mode practice sessions
is to develop a sufficient number of skilled operators on digital modes so
that digital mode stations can be added to our Field Day line-up for the
first time.   Since non-CW digital modes was added to ARRL Field Day as a
category, our club has not taken advantage of this new category of scoring,
see attached graphic.

 

Another purpose of the sessions is to increase the number of  opportunities
for "hands-on" operating time for all participants, including those without
any prior operating experience.

 

By early June a determination will be made about whether there is sufficient
club interest and capabilities in digital modes to include digital mode
stations in Field Day this year.
