[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] First Annual Cross-Potomac Amateur Radio Summer BBQ, Aug 21st ... RSVPs by Aug 10th....

[Ian]

The ARRL Sections of Virginia and Maryland/DC are pleased to invite you to
the first annual Amateur Radio Cross-Potomac Summer BBQ on August 21st.
This is our chance to mingle with fellow Amateur Radio operators, both from
club next door and from the other side of the Potomac.  This is not an
operating event, or a Hamfest.  It’s what it says, a good old BBQ, with
some music, and a few fun, Ham Radio based challenges among friends.
Further, we expect that a “Parks on the  Air” activation will occur, so if
you don’t have Seneca Creek State Park on your list, plan to join the POTA
activity.



In order to plan the BBQ, please RSVP by registering by Aug 10th.
