Field Day meeting Time: Tuesday June 2nd, 7:00 pm ZOOM ONLY

We will have a lot to go over and attendance via zoom is requested of all members.

Agenda:

This is the primary Field Day planning meeting for all members and we need to plan for food, etc so if there if any possibillity of you attending, we need to know now. Not a commitment, just a possibility.

Like last year, Field Day will be held at the Belknap County Sportsman’s Association which is a tenth of a mile north of the Laconia Airport at 182 Lily Pond Road Gilford, NH 03249. Some clubs will be roughing it outside. Not us, we’ll even have a kitchen and indoor restrooms! Of course, we’ll be totally off-grid in terms of radios and power.

But this year we will have some changes. Rick, KK1RZ will return from vacation the day before Field Day and K1DLM may be in Europe! That may mean that Dave’s radios, AC power, antennas and RF filters may not be available. A significant amount of planning will revolve around who will bring what radios along with the required RFI filters. Ditto with antennas. Rick has pre-staged an on-site trailer at BCSA which is being filled as we speak with antennas, coax, generators and much more.

This may become a more modest Field Day with individidual members contributing their own gear. The upside is that this may be a more accurate model of emergency commuications on the fly with POTA-type equipment.

– What bands will we use?
– Who will bring what radios with RFI bandpass filters
– Who will bring what antennas
– Who will bring the logging laptops (we provide the software licenses)
– Who will bring and prepare the all-important food???

As in the past, CNHARC Field Days will not be driven by maximising contest points but by having fun, socializing and gaining new experiences.  Did we say FUN? 

        Jonathan KB1COL is the Field Day Chair for 2026.
