Agenda

Kirk presented slides – primary focus was regarding our successful
ARRL field day on Sat, 22 Jun.

Additional Lessons Learned and Discussion:

  1. Andrew notes there was a lot of noise on HF, what was the source? Try battery power only test next year?
  2. Ching suggested the home improvement club has power system, option for next year?
  3. Ryan pointed out there are a lot of users on 20 meters, might have more luck on 40m or 15m?
  4. Kirk suggested we make a point to contact Chantilly and COS next year, have plan and cell numbers.
  5. Plan for Bob to accomplish Winlink task on the 440 Antenna, goal to complete in 30 mins.
  6. Plan to use digital, look for our signal propagation quality early. Could bring RF dongle also.

Other News:
