As in the past, due to the 1st Wednesday in July coming on the heals of “Field Day”, Independence Day Celebrations, and summer vacations for many members, there will be no CVARC meeting the first Wednesday of July. We will, however, meet the 1st Wednesday in August (August 4th) at the Steak House on the Barre Montpelier Road (usual hours 5:00+ for early bird specials for dinner, 6:30 to start the meeting).
Per recent tradition, the CVARC Newsletter (QFQ) will not be published this month. Rather, there will be a combined July/August edition at the end of July. This will allow time for submission of pictures of “CVARC Field Day 2010″, hopefully concise notes regarding submitted pictures, and a brief write-up of attendees’ recollections of this year’s Field Day.
Briefly, Field Day was a success! Jenn Adams [KB1TDG] did an awesome job coordinating, cooking, and serving food. Steve Board [KA1LHZ] led the charge with antennas, wires, power cables, networked laptops for contact logging, and everything else he could transport as a tractor trailer load in his Volkswagen. The usual suspects (too numerous to mention briefly) came through with the load-in, set-up, break-down, and load out. More information, pictures, and write-up in the July/August QFQ. Thanks to all who made it happen.
