Get ready to unleash your competitive spirit as we gear up for an exciting fox hunt this August, a thrilling opportunity for members to showcase their skills and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow radio enthusiasts. With our attenuator kits successfully assembled during Field Day, we are eager to put them to the test in a lively environment where strategy and teamwork reign supreme. This event promises not only to challenge your abilities but also to bring our community together for a memorable day filled with laughter, adventure, and, of course, the joy of amateur radio. Let the countdown begin as we prepare for a fantastic hunt!

Field Day has come and gone, but not forgotten. We had a good turnout, plentyof food and a lots of fun. We began setup Friday afternoon and with Antenna’sup, and radios tuned, it was now time to relax, eat pizza and talk about our hobby.

 Looking forward, we thought Saturday would be even better. Stations up, equipment ready menu’s set, what could go wrong. I guess we must haveignored the weather report. Thinking most of the time, the reports are never spot on. Well, this time they got it right. It poured all day but we persevered. We cooked in the rain, made contacts had a VE session and enjoyed Root Beer floats. It didn’t hurt that our porta potty was delivered early and centrally located. Life is good…

With this year’s event complete, we are looking forward to next year. Hope to see everyone in 2027.

The fair will be upon us before we know it. Once again we will be looking for volunteers to host our booth. A signup sheet will be available at the April meeting. Choose early and pick the day and time slot you’d like to have.

We want to thank everyone that participated last year. We had a good turnout and it looked good to those hosting the fair.

Keep up the good work. We appreciate the interest you’ve shown in the past. As long as we continue to participate, we’ll have no problem keeping our booth, inside the Everett Building.
