Field Day 2024

---

Field Day is approaching fast. Make plans to take part, help, enjoy the food,

appreciate the camaraderie, and make memories.

Preliminary Field Day details:

• ARRL Field Day is June 22 – 23, 2024.

• Setup is Saturday, starting at 9:00 AM

• Location: Randy’s farm  4975 Snowdoun Chambers Road Montgomery, AL 36110

• Two phone stations. One phone station will be in the MARC trailer, the other will be

under the open shed area. The antennas will be separated by 150 feet or more. Stations

will operate on different bands on a coordinated schedule.

• One GOTA station. We will publicize to schools and hope to have visitors!

 On-air operations start Saturday at 1:00 PM CDT.

• Lew’s special chili!

• No generator! We will run the

stations with solar-charged batteries.

We have plenty of LifePO4 batteries

and get extra points for this. The trailer air conditioner will run on 110v AC.

• New radios! A Drake 2B and a Johnson transmitter!

Want a free radio? It's easy to be in the running. Just sign up and participate as a Field Day operator or logger and you are in the drawing. A second radio will be given for the "Iron Mic" award. The person who logs the most time as an operator/logger (combination of one or both.) If there is a tie for the Iron Mic, the winner will be drawn from those who tie.
