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.
