A Field Day Update to add to the one below

Project - Field Day 2010

Every year DBARA debates having a "field day exercise" this year it was no different but the outcome was the same.  Yes, we are going to have a field day (FD). But not in conjunction with the annual club picnic.  So get yourself ready and don't forget to answer up to the call from the FD Food Committee Point of Contact (POC).  FD will not be a success without your participation and support.

Get your name in early for the FD job of your choice before someone else grabs the one you want.

ANNOUNCING THE 2010 ARRL FIELD DAY OPERATION

The Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Association and Daytona Beach CERT ARC will be participating in the 2010 ARRL Field Day, Saturday and Sunday, June 26 and 27, located at the Daytona Beach Police Department, 129 Valor Blvd., in Daytona Beach.  The 2010 Field Day event starts Saturday at 2 pm local time and ends Sunday at 2 pm, a 24 hour event.  During this event, the DBARA 147.15 repeater will be in net operation.

The operation will include HF Phone, VHF Phone, CW, digital modes including Slow Scan TV, PSK31, and Radio teletype, working the ham bands from 80M to 2M, all powered by emergency generators.  A GOTA station (Get On The Air) will be available for visitors, both hams and non-hams, to participate in the Field Day operation.  If you haven’t been on the air, this is a great opportunity to get back on the air.  For potential hams, this is an opportunity to get a taste of ham radio, as well as receive information on license classes and volunteer testing services.

The Field Day site will have a visitor’s booth with information, and a host talk-in on this repeater during daylight hours; if you need information, just come on frequency and ask.

Free messages can be sent will to anyone via ham radio during the field day operation.  Message forms are available at the visitor’s booth at the entrance to the site. We welcome the public and all ham operators to stop by and visit with us during the event. 

The DBARA picnic (Canceled 2010.05.02)will be held for members, friends, and families on Saturday at 5:00 pm at the Field Day site. Beverages and snacks will be available throughout the 24-hour operating period with food prepared on site for the FD team only.

A solicitation for volunteers will be made shortly.   If you have any questions, call or e-mail Steve Szabo at 386-566-2085 (wb4omm@arrl.net.
