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.
