I am looking to boost interest in field days, vhf and hf
We need more interested people regardless of experience.
Almost anyone who is interested can join in, regardless of any club, or radio knowledge, a pulse and at least one brain cell would be an advantage
VHF/UHF field day is the same weekend every year, the first (whole) weekend of July
Operators need to be in a club affiliated to the RSGB or actually be an RSGB member.
But its not neccessary if you want to check log, assist in the running, putting up or taking down or just generally socialise (bring beer)
We have a good clean flat site, (no cow pats, just a few sheep) a good friendly bunch of idiots (Hams, CBers, etc. and even some women).
If you are interested please contact SBARC at the folk house whitchurch on a wednesday evening or send me an e-mail.
I currently have all the necessary generators, safety trips and wiring to supply a small village on site, so electricity is not a problem. We have a portaloo, but bringing your own would be an advantage. We usually have full cooking facilities and boiling water, but we tend to lack some-one to operate it, especially early on sat morning
If you want to stay overnight, bring a tent, caravan or something. We will be on site from the saturday morning from about 10am, until sunday afternoon about 5pm.
 the site entrance can be a bit cautious, take care, shut the gate |
