Field Day June 27 & 28

Field day is upon us. We will need lots of folks to assists, with set up, operations, logging, and tear down. We will be operating for 24 hours thus the need for operators and loggers. Sometime in the 5 to 6 o’clock hour on Saturday the 27^th we will have a meal…hamburgers, hotdogs and some sides. We will be taking donations at time to offset the cost of the meal….so come on out for the meal and socialize with your fellow club members. Visit our operations and chip in to help.

The location is across the steet from 2104 Salem Church Road, Goldsboro, NC.

We will have stations on 10, 15, 20 and 40 meters SSB, also CW operations which will cover all bands as they open and close. Additionally, we will have a GOTA station (Get On The Air). I you know of anyone interested (unlicensed) they can operate from the GOTA station. If you are licensed and have been inactive for the past year you can operate the GOTA Station as well. Lastly, if you are a new Ham in the last year, active or no, you can operate the GOTA station.

On Saturday the 27^th Jim Hinnant will be holding an on-site class for Station Grounding. Check the schedule for time.
