Lady Bird Johnson Park / Columbia Island Marina

Lady Bird Johnson Park / Columbia Island Marina is on an island in 
the Potomac River near the Pentagon.
While it is part of the District of Columbia, it is located on the 
Virginia side of the river and can only be reached from the 
southbound lane of the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

We will be conducting both voice and digital amateur radio operations 
from picnic tables set up on the water's edge under the shade trees - 
bring a sack lunch and your lawn chair.

Free parking, public restrooms, and a restaurant are located at Lady 
Bird Johnson Park / Columbia Island Marina.

Talk-in on the W4WVP repeater  145.470 MHz - , PL 107.2 Hz
