*When*

2018 ARRL Field Day is June 23-24

CRA will begin set up for field day on the evening of June 23.

We are requesting members that can help move our equipment from out 
trailer at the Route 12 County Complex meet there about 5:00pm.This of 
you who have a pickup truck or a trailer to please assist with this.The 
rest of us that are available can meet at the Field Day site at around 
5:30pm to help set up our equipment.Friday evening, we will concentrate 
on setting up the tents, tables, chairs, and electricity.Please note 
that we will have to carry the equipment in from the road behind the 
tree line on the west side of the field.We cannot drive vehicles on the 
grass this year.The Hunterdon County Complex can be found here.County 
Complex

On Saturday morning starting around 9:00am, we will gather at the Field 
Day site to start putting up the antennas and to set up the 
stations.After this has been completed and tested, burgers will be 
served along with other food/drinks members have provided.The Field Day 
exercise will run for 24 hours starting at 2:00pm on Saturday and ending 
at 2:00pm on Sunday.

At 2:00pm on Sunday, the Field Day exercise will end.At this time, our 
club members will begin to break down the Field Day site and reload our 
equipment into the pickup trucks and trailers for return to the Route 12 
County Complex Storage trailer.It is important that we have as many 
members assisting with this process as we will all be tired.Many hands 
make light work.

*Where*

The club will once again have its Field Day exercise at the Riegel Ridge 
Community Center located in Milford, NJ. Field Day Site

Please keep in mind that we have been asked to keep vehicles off the 
grass this year.We will be in the field down the hill from the parking 
lot just outside the pool area.

*Food*

We are planning for a small BBQ starting around 12:00pm on 
Saturday.Hopefully, we will have most of the stations build and antennas 
up.I’m going to bring some hamburgers, cheese and rolls.I believe that 
Bill is bringing his club famous chili.We can certainly use side dishes, 
salads, chips, etc.In addition, it is typically hot.Water and drinks in 
and ice filled cooler would be a great contribution.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
