in a little expedition to Barboursville, Virginia in the county of Orange to build county scoring contacts for W4HFH club submission.  President Marshall DeBerry reported the weather was great and the Virginia countryside was beautiful, with early spring making an appearance.  Preliminary scoring indicates we scored better than our 2011 expedition to Buckingham county despite changes to the operating times and so-so propagation.

W4HFH ARC sponsors first Newbies On The Air (NOTA) Day-August 2011

Jeremy – KF7IJZ, suggested that ARC sponsor an open event that would help get new hams comfortable with operating amateur equipment on the air.  On a beautiful sunny day in Ben Brenman Park, eleven individuals turned out to explore what ham radio can offer.  All had a great time, and many suggested that we continue to offer these types of “mini-field day” sessions throughout the year. 

Photos: Saunders Moon-KD4LEL, Rick Bunn-N4ASX,  Marshall- KI4MWP, Ian Keith-N8IK and Yeeleng Rothman-KK4CKI. There were eleven people in attendance, Joe Dupesko-KJ4UYH, Cristina Dupesko-KJ4UYC, Jeremy -KF7IJZ, Bobby Richardson-KK4CKJ, Larry Walker-KK4CBL, Cameron Mackenzie-K6CLM.
