[IRCNews] Field Day Reflections

[Jeff Hammer]

It definitely would be good to have a wrap up discussion. 

I still have a major event to get ready for - The Indianapolis Hamfest.  It would be great to see everyone there and take some time to talk about Field Day.

I'm still working on getting our Field Day submission done.  Once I finalize, I'll send it out.

73,

Hello All:

Thanks to everyone who worked on the planning and participation in our Field Day 2019 at Coke Field, Indianapolis. Special thank you and kudos to Jeff (N9NIC) for leading the effort, organizing the multi-club collaboration and all the work he did on the project over the past months through to the actual event last weekend.

It was great fun and a good start for the group.  Following up on Jeff’s reflection, I suggest we all make some notes on what we think worked well, what we can improve on and what new efforts we can make next year.  Perhaps a short meeting of the group to capture our combined post-analysis thoughts would be good.

73 All,
Dave. N1RF

In the event the logging software goes down, this will at least show who was on the radio.  And there needs to be a paper log available for this reason too.  I had some of these and just got overcome by events
