Hi MOARC members!
Winter Field Day is less than a week away! Here’s what you need to know:
- Meet at the Clark Mills VFD at 11am for station setup. Address: 7700 Main Street, Clark Mills
- WFD operations begin at 2pm on Saturday and run until 1:59 Sunday.
- Come as early as you like and stay as long as you like. Bring a friend!
- A delicious taco place (Deli Taco) is just down the street.
- Coffee, tea, and water will be available onsite.
- Pastries from the Waterville Standard Bakery will be available Sunday morning!
Operating Info
- We will be class I – Indoor
- Modes: SSB, CW (aka Jordan), digital and hopefully satellite capabilities, plus whatever else we can muster up.
- 9 Bands or Bust: The goal is to make at least one contact on 80m,40m,10m,15m,10m,6m,2m,1.25m, and 70cm bands.
- Two operating locations – one inside the FD with heat, and one in a garage adjacent to a large field (will also have a portable heater.)
- The weather is looking decent, but it will be cold. Be sure to bring winter hats, gloves, and whatever else you need to keep warm.
- We will have at least 3 antennas between both locations; you can BYO radio or just use what we have.
- Given limited space we will not be setting up one antenna per person, instead, we’ll focus on each person taking a shift on a particular station.
Contact me if you have questions, otherwise, we’ll see you there!
