Field Day:
To
work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands
(excluding
the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands)
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.
Our
"GOTA" (Get
On The
Air) station
is here for our UN-licensed and UNDER licensed visitors
to
get their feet wet and seize the opportunity to work distant stations operate
an amateur radio HF station with a
licensed
operator there to guide along the way. AND TO HAVE SOME FUN!
Most importantly,
HAVE FUN!
