[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Alexandria Radio Club Winter Field Day After Action Final Report

[don.ki4d at gmail.com]

Attached is the ARC Winter Field Day Final Report.  Many thanks to the club
members who contributed to this effort with their equipment, efforts or time
to make this effort a success.  Of special mention is Alex (KO4AMC) who had
a star performance during the event.  And, we can't say enough about Joe
(KT3I), and his many, many contributions from start to finish that made this
effort a success. We are grateful to the City of Alexandria Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) and Station 210 personnel for helping to arrange use
of operating space for WFD 2023.  During the event, City of Alexandria
Councilman Kirk McPike visited on Saturday. Club member participants are
listed below.

Club members had a really unique experience while they enjoyed operating and
learning during Winter Field Day.  For the first time, club members were
able to use their own "Go-boxes" operating on battery power while simulating
emergency communications with the club call sign, W4HFH.  This was also our
first time operating on HF at a City of Alexandria emergency response
facility, Fire Station 210.  Under Winter Field Day 2023 rules, we operated
"2I" ( 2 transmitters-Inside) on 40 meters and 20 meters HF for a total of
12 hours on Saturday and Sunday.   See some of the photos posted by the City
of Alexandria Office of Emergency Management on Facebook below; and the
complete set of club photos posted on Google Photos.
