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--

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=19650+observation+dr,+germantown,+md&sll=39.185791,-77.249095&sspn=0.001933,0.00295&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=39.185866,-77.249122&spn=0.015468,0.023603&z=15&iwloc=A

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
