| Activity Description: | Operating Event – Field Day is an operating event. It is an exercise / contest where hams set up “emergency” stations in field locations. Over a 24 hour period they try to contact other similar stations. For many years MARS has partnered with the Redwood Empire DX Association. Field Day is our most well attended contest and it is lots of fun. . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What will be expected: | Setup begins on Saturday 22 when we roll out the generator, cables, hoist antennas, get stations ready to operate. Typically we use teams of two, one calling and the other the logging. Logging is done using software so neat handwriting is not a necessity. Operating begins on Saturday at 11:00 PDT, and ends 24 hours later on Sunday at 11:00 PDT and then we strike all the equipment. This year, because of a different site, we will need lots of help at setup and tear-down. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
