Repeater Trustee's Announcements

David Drummond - W4MD

T.A.R.C Field Day 2009
6/29/2009

Thanks to all who participated in the Tuscaloosa Amateur Radio Club's Field Day June 27 & 28. And especially thanks to the many club members who contributed their time and resources in making this one of the better FD events in recent years.

It was really great to see many young hams as well as many newly licensed hams get on the radio communicating around the county and world. This was a great week-end for our club and hobby.

TARC operated 3A using the call W4XI making about 1000 contacts over the period. The final point count will follow soon.

We also felt honored to have the Mayor of Tuscaloosa, Walt Maddox; the S.E. ARRL Director, Greg Saratt; and the ARRL AL State Section Manager, Jay Isbell, visit our FD operations. Their interest in what we do is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again to those who provided the logistics, the equipment/antennas, food, and to DCH Northport for providing an excellent FD location.
