Field Day, held on the
last full weekend of June, gives us all the chance to use
our skills and experiences learned in Amateur Radio. It's a
time to evaluate emergency preparedness, leverage your
knowledge of antennas, radios and multi-band operations. It's
time to make contacts, LOTS of them and have some fun doing
it! If you're new to HF, this is a perfect time to watch,
learn, or give it a try!
Field Day
will be held June 26-27 and JTRG will participate from the
Jupiter Civic Center located in Carlin Park Jupiter, FL.
The address is Van Kessel Pkwy, Jupiter, FL 33477.
We've made the Civic Center a ritual location and for good
reason - it's fantastic! If you're not familiar with it, take
a look at the map
and then make your plans to come out!
We'll
be operating as a class 3A, in simulated emergency conditions
and using the special event callsign, WY5I.
We'll have transceivers set up with
operators making contacts through various modes (FM, CW, and
Digital) and on all available bands as well as a "Get on the
Air (GOTA)" radio where you can try it out yourself!
We need plenty of volunteers to
assist with operating stations, setup, cleanup, cooking, etc.
ANY time you can contribute towards the success of JTRG's
Field Day is greatly appreciated!
Lastly,
don't forget to keep your ears tuned to the local
ClearChannel stations to hear our public service
announcements and radio advertisements for JTRG's Field Day
activities! You can also listen to them right here: 30sec
