Meeting Program - June 2013

Field Day Preparation

Leon (K9GCF) will discuss field day preparations for the June program.  Various duties still need to filled so if you can help out with any of the Field Day activities, be sure to let Leon know.

Field Day

June 22-23, 2013

The Ozaukee Radio Club participates annually in the ARRL sponsored Field Day Weekend. The object of Field Day is to set up and operate amateur radio stations using emergency power and temporary antennas. An emphasis is placed on developing skills to meet the challenge of emergency preparedness. Operators try to contact as many other amateurs radio stations as possible during this period and at the same time having fun with their families in the outdoor camping atmosphere of Field Day.  The location for the ORC Field Day event (held each year over the fourth weekend of June) is at Lazy Days Campground on Green Lake just northeast of West Bend, WI.  Site map Google Earth Map (detailed info)- Requires Google Earth

 

Free camping for anyone that participates in Field Day.  Stop out on Friday if you can help out with the setup of the tents and equipment.  Potluck supper will served along with plenty of refreshements.  A good game of sheepshead will provide great entertainment as well.  Be sure to check out ARLL's link for more information about Field Day in general.
