[HCRA] Field Day is almost here! / Election Results / Raffle Poll

[Jeffrey Bail - NT1K]

Hello All,

Field Day is almost a week away. We need all hands on deck to make Field
Day a success. If you are available for setup on Friday morning or take
down on Sunday afternoon, please stop by and help out. The more people we
have, the faster and easier things will go.

Please check out HCRA's FD 2017 page for detail information about setup
times. There is also a volunteer form

http://www.hcra.org/field-day-2017/


HCRA will be also hosting a VE session on Saturday at approximately 3:30pm.
If you are interested in obtaining or upgrading your license, or you know
someone who is, please stop by the field day site. Stick around for some
operating.

There will be a meal of burgers and hot dogs provided to HCRA members and
guests in attendance on Saturday around 5pm, If you are going to be there
for the meal, we ask that you contact nt1k at nt1k.com and state that you will
be doing so. That way we can purchase the correct amount of food and not
have any go to waste. Thanks for Larry (W1AST) and Faye for volunteering.

There will be coffee and a small continental type breakfast for those who
are in attendance sunday morning.  There will be plently of water on hand.

There will be another email going out next week and to registered
volunteers as well.
