ARRL Field Day
Saturday, June 24 – Sunday, June 25, 2023
Come One – Come All
We’re having a party! And calling it ARRL Field Day (FD) 2023!
Come on out for a weekend of fun and frolics. Operate a little radio. Enjoy some fellowship. Have some good EATS! Starting Saturday morning any time after 8AM EDT at Shelter #2 in Chester Frost Park with a bit of exercise (otherwise called putting up antennas and running some coax) and any general site prep we may need to do. Then we break for a short training session on Field Day operations and relax with some BYO lunch.
At 2PM EDT, FD officially starts, and we’re off and running. We plan on setting up a couple of “Quick Field Antennas” for demo purposes, and maybe we’ll see how they play on the air. We might have a solar station too for some bonus points (think of it as extra chocolate sauce on your ice cream!) just to show how it can be done with not too much effort.
Dinner provided by CARC sometime around 5PM, menu is still pending as we need someone to step up as “Chef”.
We will play radio all night, propagation of the bands permitting, and through Sunday morning. A bit of breakfast Sunday and then a “Winding Down” lunch around Noon, again provide by the Club.
CLICK HERE to sign up for ARRL Field Day 2023. Even if you have already made me aware of your desire to participate, please fill in the form so we’ll have a complete list with all your information.
By 4 PM Sunday we should be all cleaned up, wiped down and on the road home.
Please come on out for a bit of outdoor fun! If you have questions, please email me at macthomas@w4am.net.
Thank you.
