[bars] Fwd: POTA today

[Christopher Lennon]

I think Niece meant to send this to the group.  See her message below.

It was a very good day.  Three activators, one BARS spectator and a drive
by ham out for a walk in Great Brook Farms.

Picture of K1VK above.  I think he has some pictures of Niece and I.

Hello  Bars,
   we  had a   really  good    POTA  at  US-2435 (great Brook State  park -
Carisle)
we (Paul, Chris and  Niece)
I think   Doug and a  few others  are  going there  Saturday  (tomorrow)
to do a  pota.     please  go over  only if it is  to observe.
next  year   2026  is the  POTA YEAR FOR BARS.  so get ready.

we  will need  approval for  a  W1HH callsign  to work other  clubs.
so   Officers  please   look into this and  approve!
