This Thursday (4 December) the club will have it's normal program night with a couple twists:

1. Annual Club Officer Elections - Since all of the primary officers are running unopposed we'll have an actual election to fill two positions for Director.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Field Day Team. In the coming months the Field Day Planning Committee will provide monthly sometimes biweekly updates as well as video reminders about Field Day (27-28 June 2009).

Remember, if you have questions, comments, suggestions, etc. regarding Field Day or if you want to volunteer to help set-up/take down, operate, take pictures, or other stuff, please send an e-mail to: fd09@w3vpr.org

On Jan 17, AARC Jr. (KI3DS) will participate in the winter phone version of the North American QSO Party at the AARC Clubhouse from 1:00 pm (17 Jan) until 1:00 am (18 Jan).

1. Third-Party issues are minimized.
2. The contest lasts only 12 hours
3. The exchange is simple: Name and State.
4. One Team with two transmitters

Whether you’re making your first contact on HF or you’re a first-time participant in a contest-like activity, Field Day can be a little overwhelming. So what should you expect and how do you prepare?

Generally speaking, you’re going to hear a lot of noise and gibberish. If you listen carefully, you’ll begin to hear bits and pieces of call signs, assuming you’re listening to voice or Morse.
You'll want to learn how to tune in signals with your rig so play around and learn how to tune-in a signal so it sounds sharp and clear even with nine or ten stations all around it.
