ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. Each year over 35,000 amateurs gather with their clubs, friends or simply by themselves to operate.

On Field Day the Worcester Emergency Communications Team will work as many stations as possible on the 80, 40 and 20 meter amateur bands (with a Get on the Air station on 10m) and we will learn and practice operating in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. If enough people sign up in the next 10 days we will add 15 meters and even 10 meters stations!

It's a known fact that QSO's don't happen on RF alone and this year the canteen promises to be the best ever! We've added an 'All-You-Can-Eat' meal plan – 3 meals for just $20. The BBQ feeds the QSO frenzy on Saturday evening with a new "all-you-can-eat" menu for just $12.00. Breakfast refuels the QSO troopers with a $6 breakfast and we've added a Sunday lunch for $6. The more signups we get the better the vittles.

Attend an educational session on Weather Prediction presented by Stephen, KB1SCD on Sunday at 9:00 AM.

Practice satellite communications during field day – don't miss this fun event!

Boy Scout Troop 101 will be helping us this year at the GotA station.

Please sign up using the signup form so we know how many will be attending. Bring the kids, nieces, nephews, spouse and neighbors – all are welcome!

This year's Field Day promises to be even more spectacular than ever – with your participation.

Field Day will be held at the usual site at the National Guard Building, 50 Skyline Drive, Worcester MA.
