W1A Volunteers Needed
“I hope you’re all enjoying the summer and had fun at FD! I am […] the chairman of the W1A effort in Boxboro this year.
<…>
I need volunteers for two-hour stints, Saturday and Sunday, to help supervise the Station (i.e., be the control operator). You can even run pile-ups during light times! I will also need volunteers to help set-up and take down. This activity is comparable to a Class 1A Field Day effort, except when you’re done, you can retreat inside an air-conditioned building next to a bar!
If any of you are interested, please respond via email to me ASAP. All control op time slots are currently open, so first-come, first-served.
Please pass this along to anyone you know […]

Field Day 2002!
“Field Day 2002. For some, it was the culmination of weeks of hard work and planning. For others, it was a wonderful occasion to socialize with old friends and to make new acquaintances…”I and other members of the EMA ARRL and ARES staff traveled throughout Eastern Massachusetts June 22-23 to visit with many of the radio clubs involved in this annual event.
I’ve included my thoughts, observations and photos at EMA Field Day 2002. I hope that you will take a moment and visit this page.
On behalf of the EMA ARRL staff, I want to thank everyone who particpated in Field Day. Good job!
