<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 href="https://www.w1hh.org/what-is-field-day/field-day-results/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">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:

an article by Mark, KA1INE, is posted here:

into this role for 2026 I look forward to cajoling each and
every BARS member to participate in this fun activity! So as
you drift off into that food coma in the coming days ponder how
you might maximize your fun next June 26-27! It's only 212
