ARRL FIELD DAY June 28th and 29th

Come one, come all !! All are invited to the annual ARRL Field Day, held June28 and 29th.

Field Day is ham radio’s open house. Every June, more than 31,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

Locally, the CARS group will be operating from Roche Park, Vernon Township/Meadville , located off of Rt 19, just south of Rt 322. Operating begins at 2:00 pm,  but our day usually starts with setup around 9am, setting up three different multiband antennas, along with a mini tower which supports a 6M beam, and the operating shelter. We would love to have your stop out, more than enough food is available, and we could always use help on Saturday moring to setup and Sunday afternoon (2:00pm) to tear things down and store until next year.
