2024 ARRL Field Day and Picnic with GARA

Plan now to join the Greensboro Amateur Radio Association for our 2023 ARRL Field Day activities!

Setup will commence Friday, June 21 starting at 2 PM at Hagan Stone park group campsite 1. We will be putting up antennas, setting up the solar cells and batteries, and will start setting up the radios. We will have our antenna building workshop on Saturday June 22 @ 2:00PM. Registration for this workshops is now closed.

Field day operations will start at 2PM Saturday June 22 and end at 2PM Sunday June 23.  We will be operating two HF radio stations (Class 2A) and possibly a 6M station. Several of us will be camping out Friday and Saturday and we hope you will consider joining us both for camping and operating during the event. We have the opportunity to collect several 100 point bonuses for various activities and can use your help to collect them!

As a reminder, there will be no formal June GARA general meeting since Field Day activities are in lieu of that.

The GARA Picnic will be held in conjunction with Field Day activities and will start at noon on Saturday, June 22. You must register and pay in advance if you’d like to participate.  Lunch meals are $5 each and you can register and pay on our website at https://www.w4gso.org/news/gara-picnic-registration/ .  Each lunch includes one hamburger, one hot dog, and all sides and drinks.  Please register by Friday, June 21 so we know how much food to purchase.
