Very successful year.
Our club is continuing to grow slowly since the COVID epidemic.
We have not had a tech class or exam in a year. Maybe it is time to try again.
We are continuing the 2M/Zoom Net meetings on 2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings with moderate success.
The 2025 Virginia QSO Party, with its committee of 8, had 584 logs submitted, the second highest ever.
The 4th Call Area Incoming QSO Bureau managed by SPARC processed is continuing to do well. Jeff, KB4IWD, took over management.
Field day was held at the Sheriff station for the 3rd time. We had 15 SPARC participants and several visitors. We did 403 QSOs.
We are all looking forward to a great next year.
We held our Pizza Party at Pomodoro
Pasta, Pizza & More at . 45591 Dulles Eastern Plaza,
Sterling, VA 20166. This was our first time at this
restaurant. The location we previously used had closed.
Kevin, W4KLS, organized
the event. He also closed the event with two jokes, which
were much appreciated.
