[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] George Washington Birthday Celebration

[Joe Porcelli]

Rick and Don,

I have a few questions, and please pardon my ignorance if these questions
have been answered already and I missed them:

   - What is our mission at this parade? I get that we are there to support
   the City, but more specifically, what communications will we be handling.
   - What data will be passed across AREDN?
   - What AREDN configuration do you plan to employ?  [900MHz, 2.4GHz,
   3.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 58GHz, 60GHz, or other]

Thanks,
Joe, KT3I
