FIELD DAY 2019 EXTRAVAGANZA EVENT

MORE DETAILS TO COME

Yes, Fellow ham operators, It’s that time of the year again to be part of the greatest event in amateur radio, the one and only FIELD DAY. I will again be offering the use of our estate of Fred & Kathy Bernquist, AE2DX previous call N2DCP. The sites will be mowed we will again offer the use of our 5th wheel RV for your operating comfort or rest periods. The in ground pool water is a comfortable 85 degrees. There are many sites to choose from as most are near many trees for your antenna configurations. Dave’s antenna from last field day is still up and ready, well almost, This years also there are more cleared out areas for you to set up in as we had the brush and limbs trimmed during this past year to make more room.

This years dining feast will be Sausage both ( hot and not so hot) hero’s and onions and peppers cooked on the grill and supplied by your hosts, and any and all vittles you wish to bring to share with the others for your dining pleasure. Don’t forget to bring your suits and towels, any snacks and drinks you plan to enjoy during this extravaganza event. The refrigerator in the RV will be on for your use.

As usual after the event and take down the Newly renovated shooting range will be open for the target and skeet shooting practice if you so desire special thanks to Doc K4QI and Joe KA4WJB for the new targets.. Bring lots of ammo as the shortage going on of ammo I need all the casings I can collect to have reloaded again.

If your planning on coming during the event please RSVP so that I know how much meat to purchase.

This years event will be held on June 22-23 2019. Set up will begin when you arrive try to be here early to allow time to set up for the 2PM start.
