Eternal Glory to all the volunteers and participants of the 2015 BVARC Field Day!!
I had a blast! This was my first Field Day, and I really appreciate all the mentoring -- I learned a lot. Made my first contacts on the HF bands, first DX, and first attempts at satellite contacts (just couldn't bust the pile-ups with my little 5-watt HT, but it was thrilling to hear quarter-watt signals from a 1500 mile slant range). 73 to all, --Bill, KG5FQX On Sat, Jun 27, 2015 at 12:00 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Send BVARC mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of BVARC digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
