FREE testing for new licenses and upgrades starts at 2 PM.  Please arrive by 2:00 for testing.

We'll have a couple of HF radios going and RATS control operators will be available to assist and supervise -- you do not need any particular class of license, or any license at all to operate from our Field Day.

Peter's portable DMR repeater trailer will be on site providing emergency power for our HF radios.

We look forward to seeing you!
