[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Field Day Wrap-up with Thanks and Requests

[Don (KI4D)]

I had a great time at Field Day 2019 this past weekend; there were many,
many things to be thankful for this past weekend.  Not the least of which,
the weather was absolutely great,  a fantastic summer day.  

 

If you have Field Day photos to share, please upload them to the Field Day
2019 Google photo link.  Using that link that will help us keep track of
photo credits.  The link is at .
https://photos.app.goo.gl/GNnGTjp5V7N232ih9.  When you view the link, you
will find that others have already uploaded photos.

 

To help us record lessons learned about the event, your feedback is needed.
All feedback, whether praise, advice, ideas, comparisons, or suggestions is
desirous.  I will consolidate  feedback into a PowerPoint presentation to be
available for club presentation at the next meeting or in coming months.
This feedback could also have great value in planning Field Day 2020.

 

To help with organization feedback is requested by topic, unless there is no
topic fit.
