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.

2018 Florida Strider’s Resolution Run

Florida Striders has asked that ClayARES support them for their 2018 Resolution Run on January 6, 2018.  We will need a total of 8 operators to handle Net Control and points along the 5k route.  This run will start behind the Orange Park Kennel Club and run along River Rd., as well as through a few of the neighborhoods along the route.  The run starts at 8:30am, so we will need to be set up and in position by 8:00am.  The run should be completed well before noon.

Below is a sign-up sheet to volunteer for this event.  Please complete the information and you will be contacted with more information about the run.
