WARA will be participating in Field Day June 22-23, 2019 with Frank Andersen VE7GCO as the club’s coordinator. Our location will be as usual at Heritage Acres, 7321 Lochside Drive, Saanichton, British Columbia. Hank VA7HV is looking after the signup for the SSB/CW stations while Bailey VA7AIB is looking for GOTA/VHF station operations. Hans VE7OES, Al VE7BEU will take care of station setup and the logging network. A group of XYL’s are looking into the Bar-B-Q dinner event with the cake and fixings. This is WARA’s 50th so there will be extra events as well. Frank will be bringing the tents and other material from his home, and will be bringing down as well picking up the pizza on Saturday for lunch. The more that help the more fun this weekend is so plan to come out and join in the event. See you there, Frank VE7GCO
