Times are from 12:00 Noon on Saturday, the 26th, to 12:00 Noon on Sunday the 27th.
Come and join us (Amateur Radio Emergency Service of Douglas and Elbert Counties) for a fun day of radio communications.
The object is to work as many stations as possible on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meter HF bands, as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of amateur radio
Everyone is welcome to stop by. We have a GOTA (Get On The Air) station than anyone can try their hand at. The GOTA station may be operated by any person licensed since the previous year’s Field Day, regardless of license class. It may also be operated by a generally inactive licensee. Non-licensed persons may participate under the direct supervision of an appropriate control operator. This gives everyone a chance to participate and see how HAMS use their radio skills to communicate.
Location, 4.9 miles West of Hess Road and Parker Road on the North side of the road. Turn into the dirt road and come past the gate.
