_*Field Day 2015

*_
Field Day is finally here again! This year it falls on Saturday, June 
27th - Sunday, June 28th. The club is going to hold the event in the 
same place we have the past several years, located on North 23rd street 
in the American Red Cross building. Anyone planning to help with the 
setup can show up around 9am local Saturday morning to help with setup. 
Field Day operating begins at 1pm local (1800Z). The club will be 
operating club callsign W9AWE. Our planned category for the event will 
be 2F or 3F for the event. There are plans to have three stations on the 
air, operating three modes. One for CW, SSB and digital. Connor (KC9ZJI) 
is planning on bringing his ANAN 100 SDR for the Digital station. If you 
have been thinking about an SDR radio and would like to know more about 
them. This would be a good time to try one out on the air. I am sure 
Connor would love to answer any questions you might have about SDR radio.

     Dinner will be at 6pm local. This will be a great time to enjoy 
some good food and visit with friends. For the dinner, the meat utensils 
and drinks will be provided by the club. Please bring a carry in dish to 
share with members, friends and family of the club. If you have not seen 
the club radio room in awhile, you should give it a look. A lot of 
members have put in numerous volunteer hours to make the station what it 
is now.  After dinner, please hang around and make some contacts on the 
bands. I am sure we will be in need of CW and overnight operators for 
Field Day. Hope we have some night owls in the group.

     I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Field Day this year. 
Getting on the air and hearing all the Field Day chatter is always 
exciting.

See you there,
Chris Schulz
