Field Day 2012   May 1st, 2012

FIELD DAY  is JUNE 23 & 24, 2012

The VCARA Field Day will again be at the Willie Chavez Park in Belen.  Reserve these days on your calendar now and plan to come out, bring the family, have lunch, make some contacts, and have a lot of fun.

Field Day check lists for THINGS TO DO, STUFF TO BRING and VOLUNTEERS NEEDED are being developed to make it easy for different folks to take on Field Day responsibilities.  If you have any suggestions about what should be on these lists, or what we should do, have or try at Field Day, please drop an email to Ralph Clark at  nm5rc@msn.com or visit with Chris Gilespie W5CSG, Paul Ridley N5RP or Ralph.

Field Day Pins:  call Paul Ridley (505) 999-8253 if you want one of the 20 he has ordered – first-come-first-served. Or you can go to the ARRL website and order direct.
