<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Greetings BARSians! (did I just
make that up?)</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">The ARRL have published the results
of the 2025 Field Day 'event' (It's not a contest - despite
there being points and scores and published rankings... ;-) )</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">2025 was a transitional year for
the BARS Field Day efforts. Thanks to the generosity of Nan
Araway, NK1A, we had a new location at her home in Chemlsford.
As expected, our score reflected the unfamiliar QTH and new
operating conditions. A quick summary is below and the full
published results are on the ARRL website here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.w1hh.org/what-is-field-day/field-day-results/">https://www.w1hh.org/what-is-field-day/field-day-results/</a> . A
listing of past BARS FD scores is on the BARS website here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.w1hh.org/what-is-field-day/field-day-results/">https://www.w1hh.org/what-is-field-day/field-day-results/</a> and
an article by Mark, KA1INE, is posted here:
