Field Day is Coming!
Field Day this year will be held on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday June
29. Antenna setup will start on Friday, June 27 at about 4 PM.
This year's location will be a the Sequioa Arena in Joaquin
Miller Part, the same a years past. Well be operating as a "5A"
station with five transmitters (plus the "Get On The Air" station and
VHF/UHF station).
Field Day is an annual event where we are required to set up portable
equipment with alternate power (i.e. not supplied by PG&E) and
contact as many other stations, nationwide and international, as
possible in a 24 hour period.
This is a great oportunity for new technician operators go get some
experience on the HF bands as well as for all operators to brush up on
extended portable operations. Food and beverages will be
prepared on site and provided for the whole event. Camping
space and restroom facilities will be avaiable for those wishing to
spend the night. Talk-in will be on the WB6NDJ repeater, 146.880 MHz,
minus offset, PL 77 HZ.
The June meeting will be held on Saturday, June 6 and the subject will be Field Day prepartions.
All meetings will begin at 9:00 AM in the
first floor media room of Oakland Fire Station No. 1, located at 1605
Martin Luther King Jr. Way between 16th and 17th Streets in Oakland.
