The American Cancer Society has estimated over 5,000 participants for this years event.

This event will require a significant number of volunteers to adequately cover and complete the communication and logistic demand on the FCARC and it's membership.

This event will take about 4 hours in its entirety with some operators checking out early.

It will be helpful if you would indicate you have the time to cover a begining and end location this year.

This year Field Day will be held on June 22nd and 23rd. With the clubs new Ham Van and telescoping tower this will open the door for different antenna configuration and set ups.
This year I want to set up teams, SSB team, CW team, VHF/UHF team and Meet and Greet (GOTA) team. The teams can work on antennas, equipment, computers, and operating station.

I am pleased to announce that Terry Schilling - N9AOT is our Ham of the Year for 2018. It was announced at our annual Awards Banquet this past weekend. As tradition, our 2017 Ham of the Year Roy - KC9VLP made the announcement by calling Terry up to the front of the room. Join me in congratulating Terry on this fine honor.

Hello all,

As many of you know there will not be a February meeting and the March meeting will be after the WQP event on Sunday March 10th, so over the duration of time remaining we'll coordinate this event in the digital world of email, FCARC website, text and through the FARC Face book page.

Please signup on the FCARC Face book site where there is an event posted by me and updates will be listed regularly.

I hope everyone attending the WQP this year will get a chance to signup early and participate in the Google map I've created for this event.

The meeting scheduled for tonight is still on. I confirmed that the building will be open.

I will not be there, so to make things easier on the others there, please renew your membership and pay for the February banquet online using the buttons on the FCARC.club home page.
