Time To Think Field Day!

It is time again to be thinking and planning for the ARRL Field Day. At the last club meeting, there was a consensus for setting up a club Field Day station.

With a number of new hams in the area, many may not have heard of Field Day. I don't know when Field Day was first started, but there are references to it back in the 1930's, so hams have been participating in Field Day for a very long time, and the Tri-Cities Amateur Radio Club has had active field day stations since club inception.

Field Day is an annual amateur radio outing where hams across the U.S. and Canada take to the "field" and set up portable stations, operating for 24 hours on the last full weekend in June. Although we could start as early as 11:00am on Saturday, we normally target noon to kick off our 24 hour operating period.
