[RVRC] W2QW & NJ2AA BBQ & POTA : Update

[Alan Wolke]

Awesome!

I look forward to it!

I've done nearly 500 activations, so I'll certainly help answer any
questions, and look forward to operating too!  Would individual operators
be expected to use the NJ2AA club call even we we're not NJ2AA club
members, or should we plan to activate using our own calls? (assuming we'll
have multiple people operating).

I'll bring my KX2 and a variety of antennas, and would love to
operate/activate on CW or SSB.

73,
Alan
