Since there's no coordinated Field Day event in Frederick County this
year, everyone is invited to come to MARC's Field Day activities this
weekend (June 27-28) at the Germantown Campus of Montgomery College.
It is located at the end of Observation Drive, near the "earth" water
tower. It is conveniently located near I-270 at the MD-118 exit. Here
is a link to a map of the location--

It is also public-transit accessible via Metro (take Red Line to the
Shady Grove station) and the Ride-On #55 bus which stops on campus.
Everyone is welcome to participate. There will be a GOTA (Get on the
Air) station, so even those without an amateur license will have the
opportunity to make contacts with the assistance of a control operator.
Field Day setup begins around 7:00 AM on Saturday, and operations go
from 2:00 PM on Saturday until 2:00 PM on Sunday. If you need "talk-in"
assistance, we'll be monitoring the 146.955 repeater (+600 kHz offset,
no PL tone). Feel free to spend a few hours or the whole weekend.
Hope to see you there!
73, Fred K3CSX
