Special thanks to Denny, Earl, Scott, Guy, and others who have offered to help with setup, bringing equipment, Also, special thanks to the Batfish Club for their invitation to join them for Field Day at the Batfish. We look forward to joint activities with their club in the future.

Bring your radios, antennas, and appetite, Stop by for a few hours or stay the whole time.  This is a great opportunity to get away from the house to bring your tent, radios, camping supplies, solar panels, etc. and have a mini-camping getaway.  This is also a great time to bring kids, grandchildren, or invite friends to see our hobby in action.

If you have any questions, ideas, please feel free to complete the online survey or email/call/text me directly if that is easier.

Best regards and thanks to everyone for their support and enthusiasm.
