[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Need Volunteers for the Annual Alexandria George Washington's Birthday Parade on February 17th.

[Richard Adamy]

I plan to be there.  I will bring the club's trailer.

The portable repeater is installed and working.  It was used for a bit
at Field Day last year.  Not sure if we will use it, but if you don't
already have it programmed into your radio(s), the frequency is
442.900 MHz, with a +5 MHz offset and PL tone of 107.2 Hz.  We only
use it for events like this, so it won't be on before we set up for
the parade.
