Members of the EAWA met January 11, both in person and via Zoom. In addition to routine business, the club elected officers and board members for 2024. One topic of discussion was participation in Winter Field Day. Several members are excited about working Winter Field Day from remote locations. Other topics included an upcoming club dinner, planning for the April 2024 Symposium, the availability of flyers to be given to new hams at licensing exam locations, and the upcoming Clipperton Island Activation.
For the program, Marion Mason, N3OA, presented an introduction to radio awards, contesting, and special events. Aimed at someone new to ham radio, her talk included ways to find these activities and the basics of how they work. She also discussed how the growing fascination with radiosport has prompted contest overlays and contests-within-contests, adding to the fun.
