Mark it on your calendar – ARRL Field Day is just two weeks away! Once again this year, the Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club will participate from the Heald Street Orchard in Pepperell (entrance is adjacent to 112 Heald Street). We will be setting up Saturday, June 28th after 9 AM, with operation from 2 PM Saturday June 28 th through Sunday June 29th at 2 PM.
We will feature four operating stations – an HF phone station (primarily for voice operation), an HF CW station (primarily for Morse code and data operation), a VHF/UHF station (which will also communicate via satellite), and a GOTA station. GOTA stands for “Get-on-the-Air”. This station is specifically set aside for unlicensed operators (operating under the supervision of a licensed operator), newly licensed hams, and generally inactive hams.
Besides the Field Day stations, there will be educational activities, social activities, food, etc. Something for everyone! Please come and join us. Bring your family, friends, kids, and grandchildren. Everyone is welcome.
Here is the official press release which will give you more information.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Bruce, K1BG
