All club members, and their friends and families, are welcomed to participate in this year's CC-ARC/WARA Field Day (FD). You don't have to be a contest operator or have HF privileges. In fact, you don't even need a license to participate, as you can operate with one of the club's Advanced or Extra class licensees as the control operator. On-site training will be provided.

Goals:

• Emergency Preparedness Exercise
• Getting new, inactive, and potential hams on the air
• Presenting amateur radio to the public, and to Dexter-Southfield students
• Demonstrating amateur radio's emergency capabilities to Waltham & Brookline EMAs
• Having fun

Basic Operation Details:

• Class 3A
  • Three HF stations & One VHF station (W1CLA)
  • GOTA station (W1MHL)
• Operation from emergency power - generators & batteries
• Computer logging w/ N1MM Logger; training available on-site & possibly in advance (our N1MM Setup)

Anyone interested is welcome to visit the FD site, and do some operating if they so desire. However, a successful Field Day club operation requires participants willing make a commitment to come for at least part of the weekend, preferably including set-up and/or clean-up. If you would like to participate in this year's WARA/CC-ARC Field Day, or would like to find out more about it, please contact our FD Coordinator or WARA Liaison (below) or fill out The Form.

Meals will be served, but only to those who sign up for them in advance using The Form. There will be a nominal charge for meals.
