2025 ARRL Field Day is June 28 - 29
Field Day will, again, be held at Rancho Grande Park.
We will be operating for 24 hours straight. So please sign up for a 2 to 4 hour shift.
WE NEED OPERATORS!
If you can go the full 24 hours that would be great! It makes no difference what class license you may have. We will have General, Advanced and Extra class licensees as control operators. Even if you have never worked HF before, it's a great way to jump in with an Elmer right by your side. I guarantee you will be a seasoned vet in no time at all!
Last year Dave K6AYK, Sarah KN6YCQ, and Steve KI6FW went nonstop for the full 24 hours!
Please contact Dave K6AYK, Marc K6ZAP, or Steve KI6FW
to sign up ASAP
