Field Day 2008
Posted June 25, 2008

Field Day Set for Beal Park
Posted June 17, 2008

This year Field Day will be on June 28 and 29 at Beal Park. We plan to meet at the club house around 7:30 am on Saturday morning, the 28th, and load equipment. Hopefully we'll be at the park by 8:30 am to begin setting up before it gets too hot.

Please plan to come help us out. We need help setting up Saturday morning and tearing down Sunday afternoon. Actual operating starts at 1:00 pm on Saturday and runs until 1:00 pm Sunday. We plan to have 3 transmitters running so we'll need lots of help keeping them on the air the entire 24 hour period.

Of course, we'll be serving dinner Saturday evening. The plan is to have some of Dwayne's delicious burgers. You won't want to miss out!

Hope to see everyone there!
