June 26th - 27th 2010 AARC Field Day

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.


Objective is to work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions.

Technician class? Come on out and work the HF bands under club callsign
BBQ Dinner on Saturday Evening.
Help setup and teardown before and after event.
