The Monday meeting for November 25th has been moved to Tuesday June 2. We will be joining the Union County Amateur radio club for a joint meeting. The meeting starts at 7pm, Pizza will be provided at 6:30pm. We will be planning for the nation wide annual emergency communications exercise on June 27-28, 2026 we will be participating in at Keckley Park on Bear Swamp Road. https://www.libertytownshipunionco.com/Parks-and-Recreation.html
The Object: To work as many stations as possible on the 160-, 80-, 40-, 20-, 15- and 10-meter HF bands, as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of amateur radio.
Setup for the emergency communications exercise, also known as Amateur Radio Field Day, will start on Friday June 26th. Communications will start at 2pm on Saturday and go for a full 24 hour period until 2pm on Sunday. Sunday afternoon we will take down antennas and pack up all our equipment to take back to
EMA Station 720.
Please look over the 2026 ARRL Field Day Rules https://www.arrl.org/field-day-rules . Those will be discussed at the meeting, particularly the bonus points requirements to determine what our goals to accomplish for Field Day will be.
