LARC Field Day 2022

LARC Field Day 2022

ARRL Field Day is 6/25-6/26, noon to noon. Please join us!

We need set-up and take down help, operators, and loggers.
Operators get 2-hour shifts, and several are already filled. We will be operating on the air for 24 hours straight.

Where?  Boulder County Fairgrounds, 9595 Nelson Road, Longmont, 80501. We’ll e set up on the southwest corner, bordered by Nelson Road and Hover. Come in from the western-most entrance from Nelson onto Fairgrounds Lane, and turn right into the first parking lot. Walk across the lane to the pavilion.

Bring a friend or two. Bring someone under 18 and let them make a contact — it will count for extra points for us!

What else is happening? We are having a pot luck BBQ at 5:00 pm. LARC brings the meats and buns. Hotdogs, sausages, and brats will be served along with a variety of fixings. Bring another dish/side to go with them! Please RSVP if you intend to join us for our BBQ — RSVP to Dick, KE0VT, at Gwabi2@hotmail.com.

We will have enough higher class control operators so everyone, Tech, General and/or Extra Class can operate on HF. Visitors do not even have to be licensed to get on the air (but they are NOT allowed to work any DX)! We are hopeful some elected officials will stop by, also.

Come operate, log, or just visit and enjoy the social time — but show up. It’ll will be great FUN, and you’ll get to meet and visit with other members of our club, and to experience using different radios and antennas!
