W1AQ Christmas Party Success!
We had a great Christmas Party at W1AQ in early December, with a wonderful cake done by KC1I. It was all with great laughs and lots of fun. Everyone brought tons of food for our pot luck dinner. Thank you for all that came!
NE QSO Party Operating and Winter Field Day Results
W1AQ will be participating in operating NE QSO Party from the clubhouse on May 5th (Sunday) at 10AM. We are looking for members or anyone who is interested in participating in operating the contest that day. Band conditions still do not look favorable but we are hoping there is some opportunity to operate the contest.
KB1VYI and KB1QWO operated from the shack for winter field day this year, only putting in a couple hours worth of contacts. They logged 121 SSB contacts that day with fairly favorable operating conditions across the band with no shortage of people to work on the bands. It was a bit chilly, even being inside the shack though!
W1AQ Christmas Party Success and Future Contest Operating
As the year is coming to a close we finished out the year with the W1AQ Christmas Party. We had great attendance this year with with 13 people showing up with food. So much food was eaten and laughter shared! We started to plan some contests to operate as well and started to look forward in planning future events.. We are looking to also operate Winter Field Day on January 20 and the North American QSO Party on February 23-24. We are looking for operators to help assist in this event so we can get these going. Thank you all for your attendance!
