We encourage all Amateurs to take part in the many Field Day setups across our area. If you’re looking for a group, these links may be helpful. http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator.
If you don’t have a group and want to check out a site without traveling too far. Please check out our group below.
This year, the Local Emergency Field Radio Operating Group (LEFROG) and the Milwaukee Area Amateur Radio Society will take part in a combined Field Day effort the weekend of June 28-29.
This year, we are setting up our operation at the Ozaukee County Justice Center in Port Washington. The site address is 1201 S Spring St, Port Washington, WI 53074. We will be located on the south side of the main parking lot. Setup will begin at noon on Friday.
This year, we will have 5 HF stations operating Digital and SSB. We will also have a six-meter station for SSB and digital setup. Now is your chance to try this radio under real-world conditions.
We invite everyone to attend and check out the setup. Our goal is to set up working stations for people to operate. Don’t worry if you are not a contester, this is for fun. We want to get people out and on the air. There will be plenty of time for sitting around and socializing. We also want to demonstrate to the general public what Amateur Radio is all about. So please join us this year and help make this a great time. You can also follow the fun on the MAARS Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/513Repeater or check out the lefrog webpage at https://lefrog.club/
We will monitor two frequencies for talk-in this year.
