Winter Field Day 2018

Want to try your hand at HF? How about working portable? Or maybe just hang out with some other hams and enjoy some fresh air. Winter Field Day is coming up January 27-28. Several ClayARES operators will be meeting at Black Creek Park and Trail on Saturday only at 8:30 a.m. to set up radios and antennas. We’ll casually work other Winter Field Day stations until noon-ish.

Even if you don’t have your own HF equipment, come on out. There will be plenty of rigs there for everyone to try their hand at making contacts.

The First Annual ClayARES 2 Meter Contest

On November 5th ClayARES will be conducting its first ever 2 meter contest. We’ll make as many contacts in different zip codes as possible, with only the 2M simplex mode using 100 watts maximum! It’s a great chance to learn the USNG system, how to pass and relay information, conquer “Mic Fright”, and meet new friends.
