[W8MWA] Field Day hits the Dominion Post.

[w2bsa@arrl.net]

Hi folks. I just read the article. As usual the news media didn’t get everything right. That’s the norm because the person writing the article is a layperson as far as amateur radio goes. That being said, we got an excellent article out of the reporter that will give our club and the amateur radio community some excellent PR.

All the Best,

Bill, W2BSA

While there are things that could be added and misperceptions that could be corrected, I suggest we just chalk this up a PR "win".

Finally, we have a reporter who took an interest in us and wrote up a nice piece that is positive and promotional.  My feeling is that we not worry about any inaccuracies and be tankful for what we have.  Maybe this is a relationship we can build upon.
