Field Day

CQ CQ CQ de W4J! It’s time to make some contacts!

This year’s Field Day will be held at the Carlin Park Civic Center in Jupiter on June 24th and 25th. It’s an opportunity for Amateur Radio enthusiasts to showcase their skills and experiences. Field Day is the largest event organized by the ARRL and involves making as many contacts as possible within 24 hours under simulated emergency conditions. Whether you’re new to HF or an experienced operator, your participation is valuable.

We’ll be operating as a class 1A, using the special event call sign W4J. Multiple transceivers will be set up, allowing operators to make contacts using FM, CW, and Digital modes on all available bands. We’ll also have a “Get on the Air (GOTA)” radio for you to try. The only excluded bands are 12, 17, 30, and 60 meters.

Setup starts on Saturday at 7 am, with Field Day communications beginning at 2 pm. We’ll continue operating for 24 hours and conclude with a tear-down at 2 pm on Sunday. Volunteers are needed for operating stations, setup, cleanup, and cooking. Any time you can contribute is greatly appreciated.

For Field Day information, contact ARRL at fdinfo@arrl.org or (860) 594-0232.

Don’t forget to listen to local Clear Channel stations for our public service announcements and radio advertisements promoting JTRG’s Field Day activities!
