Winter Field Day 2023
Another outstanding Winter Field Day is in the books. The weather was decent and the food was delicious! Thanks to KC3MVS and his XYL for planning and preparing the food. Also, a special thanks to the American Legion Post #300, who allowed us to set up on their site.
Hope to see you at the next Field Day, which is June 24th, 2023.
Thanks to all who helped make this year’s summer field day a success
AARO would like to take the time to “THANK” the American Legion Post #300, 3290 Grosenbacher Rd, San Antonio, TX 78245 for the use of their facility. The staff at POST #300 are the “BEST”. Some are going to become HAMs some day soon. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You.
Also want to thank Chris KI5MJZ Field Day Chairman, Shane NS5D Field Day Co-chair for an awesome time. Thank you Kelly WB5MZT for the soldering class. Thank you Steve KE5WYV, Freddie (the dogs name) and all of those that attended this year’s Field Day events. Looking forward to Winter Field Day, already.
