Friday - Saturday - Sunday --- June 24 - 25 - 26, 2011 (Purcellville, VA. March 5, 2011) The 18th Loudoun Amateur Radio Group's K4LRG ARRL Field Day Committee held its initial organization meeting on Saturday, March 5, 2011, with Chairman, Chris - KB3RUR hosting the group. Most members were present. Quickly, it was clear we are operating Class 5A again and hopefully, we will return to John WB5ODJ's farm. Jay - KI4TXP will finalize the site selection.
The main goal of this meeting was to seek and select captains and co-captains for the many functions and duties. Great strides were made and a "DRAFT" Organization Chart is available here. There will be some coordination on several tentative selections and a few positions still need to be filled. Updates will be posted. If you would like to assist then please contact Chris.
Hope To See You All At 2011 Field Day !!! | |
