With 1,536 sites in ARRL's Field Day locator, one in particular stands out: Headquarters station W1AW in Newington, Connecticut. Operators at the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station were, of course, calling "CQ Field Day" but if you were lucky enough to log this 6F-class station on Saturday, June 28th there's a good chance you may have worked Audrey McElroy, KM4BUN. Audrey was the Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF Memorial Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the year for 2022. The Georgia resident has been in Connecticut working on an internship in support of her electrical engineering studies at Georgia Tech. Audrey is, of course, a Field Day veteran and a former operator for the Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure to Curacao. Dayton Hamvention attendees may have also met her in Xenia, Ohio, as a presenter.

This year's Field Day at W1AW was a proud moment for us here at Newsline and we wish Audrey continued success and, of course, good DX.
