The Boston Amateur Radio Club held it annual Summer field day at the Westwood, Ma. Hale Education, Inc. is a private nonprofit widely recognized for our flagship camps, youth programs, family and community activities, school partnerships, and professional development opportunities. We serve several thousand children and families from 70 Greater Boston communities annually, and invite visitors to enjoy our 1,100+ acres of forests, ponds, and meadows in Westwood and Dover, Massachusetts. Our programs and land management practices are the legacy of our founder, Robert Sever Hale, who encouraged people to patronize the property in ways that are “charitable and benevolent in nature…to provide education which will develop intelligent, capable, and responsible citizens.”

Many of the Boston Amateur Radio Club Officers are saying that the club had a record Field Day weekend with more contacts then in the past years, with many members working So hard to make contacts throughout the Saturday and Sunday hours.

Very Important People (VIP’s) came to visit our Field day site from the ARRL

I myself am very proud of my 12 contacts that I made during this time, including one with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas 77058. My Elmer (Teacher for ham radio) came to the site on Saturday and at some point gave me a 2023 Field day Pin for me to wear. (Thank you Joe C.)

During the Friday- Sunday my roommate and I had a few encounters with local Wildlife (So Cool). We saw Two Deer, White Tail Rabbits, many Garter Snakes, and some turtles (think they are painted turtles, But not sure) Overall, its a very nice weekend, and I had a lot of fun!
