From ARRL: Field Day Objective: To work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12- meter bands) 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. LOG Each contact made is entered into a database. Logging can often be more exciting (and sometimes less monotonous!) the operating. Loggers are a critical part of any Field Day exercise. Anyone can log, no experience or license is required! EAT SARA members will provide food for: Saturday Dinner (BBQ) Overnight Snack Sunday Breakfast & Lunch Members and participants are encouraged to provide a pot luck salad, side or desert. Contact Steve, Ernest ? or John Sabini if you would like to help with food! Please let us know if you have any restrictions or suggestions for meals and snacks. LEARN Besides having fun and learning about contesting, there will be a soldering demonstration on Saturday afternoon! Have you ever wanted to make or fix your own cable? Come learn how. We are also hoping to line up a special presentation on Surface Mount Technology… so bring all your rigs that you want to modify J GOTA Never operated? Unlicensed? Newly licensed? Haven’t been on HF (or at least not in a while?) Have children/relatives under 18? GOTA is for you. The Get On The Air Station allows anyone to get on the air, no license or experience required. If you don’t want to commit to a long session in a regular tent, come make 20 or so QSOs in the GOTA tent. If you like it, you can come join us in any tent you like! This is a great introduction to ham radio if someone has not yet experienced the joy of a QSO. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Have Fun Help set up antennas (and fire a cannon!)
