Field Day is always the 4th full weekend of June, beginning at noon local time Saturday and running through noon local time on Sunday. We are only permitted to operate 24 hours if we setup before noon.
Date: ARRL Field Day will be held June 22-23, 2024.
Place: At the home of Matt Garcia, N5PTV (check his QRZ page for address). We will have a porta-potty on-site the entire weekend. We are also planning a potluck dinner as well, to include BBQ, burgers, brats, sides and drinks.

Operators: Please check the rules concerning Field Day before you start operating.
We use N3FJP Field Day Contest Log software. Please have that installed BEFORE you start. No need to purchase it if you have not done so. We’ll use the club license on Field Day. Contact Bobby Duncan, KF5GTX, for the login information PRIOR to Field Day.
