Amateur Radio Winter Field Day 2019
Interested in the amateur radio hobby? Already a “ham” and just looking for an excuse to go play radio? Join us at the Everglades Amateur Radio Club on the weekend of January 26-27, 2019 for Winter Field Day!
What’s Field Day?
Field Day is a national event in which amateur radio operators across the country hone their emergency preparedness skills by setting up their radio gear in less than ideal conditions, often times outdoors and running off emergency power. Radio contacts are made all over the world by hams on their improvised stations.
Where and when?
We will be holding our 2019 Winter Field Day event at the John D Campbell Agricultural Center, 18710 SW 288st, Homestead Fl 33030. The event will run from 10AM 1/26, till 10AM 1/27.
What to bring? Who can join in?
The event is open to all, an amateur radio license is not required to attend. This is a great way to see ham radio in action and ask questions if you’re interested in the hobby. This event is outdoors so plan accordingly.
I’m a ham and I want to setup my radios! Who do I coordinate with?
The EARC monthly meeting is 1/11/2019 at 7PM, same location as Field Day. If you can’t make the meeting, you can reach out to us via the club’s website or the South Florida Hams Facebook page. Overnight camping for radio operators is allowed.
