Field Day is this weekend, June 26th and 27th at Eva (Shorty Ryan) Park! Everybody is welcome to come by and operate a radio. We will have stations set up on 20, 40, and 80 meters. We will also have a GOTA (Get on the air) station and possibly a 6 meter station operating as well. If you have a special mode such as PSK-31, RTTY, or CW that you would like to operate then let us know.
ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. Each year over 35,000 amateurs gather with their clubs, friends or simply by themselves to operate. ARRL Field Day is not a fully adjudicated contest, which explains much of its popularity. It is a time where many aspects of Amateur Radio come together to highlight our many roles. While some will treat it as a contest, most groups use the opportunity to practice their emergency response capabilities. It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to local elected community leaders, key individuals with the organizations that Amateur Radio might serve in an emergency, as well as the general public. For many clubs, ARRL Field Day is one of the highlights of their annual calendar. What would Field Day be without food? We will grill hamburgers and hot dogs and try to eat around 6:30 PM. Anne KE4HFB and Pam N5TRL are coordinating the food so if you plan to bring something get with one of them. I'm sure they will also be calling on some of the XYLs to help out as well. Starting in 2010, we are going to try to have some sort of program in conjunction with our monthly meeting. If you have some sort of aspect of Ham Radio you want to see or learn more about, please speak up. If you want to present something, let me know so I can post it here.
