Richard and I put some time into creating a united front for HARC's
effort in Winter Field Day. Because of the pandemic, the WFD organizers
are allowing club members the chance to work separately and then
combine their scores. Here is some info so we're all on the same sheet
of music. At the end is a questionnaire and punch list so that we can
acknowledge members efforts and accomplishments. Remember, going to
Winterfieldday.com will give you official rules, FAQ, log submission
tips, etc.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><b>Time line: <br></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><br></b></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Friday, 1/29th.</div><div dir="ltr"> 1100. 24 hour window opens where you may spend UP TO 12 HOURS setting up your station.</div><div dir="ltr">Saturday, 1/30th.</div><div dir="ltr"> 0900 1st WFD Net on the HARC repeater</div><div dir="ltr"> 1100 Event Starts!
