Field Day Coordinating Meetings
In order to help plan this event, we’ll be having daily (optional) planning meeting via Zoom. The link will be open 1400 local time for use by the Field Day Coordinators. There might or might not be a meeting, depending upon needs. It is a meeting place to coordinate and find resources. If you are a club member or guest, please take the opportunity to drop in and speak with them and find a way to participate on June 25-26. Our club has a lot of very new and very seasoned hams. If you are new to the club or new to the hobby, this is a great opportunity to get involved. If you are an old timer, this is an opportunity to share your knowledge.
