Field Day 2022 June 25-26

Posted on by

 

Field Day 2022  will be held June 25 & 26.  For more information and to sign up for a time slot please email mjohnson@hcaresraces.net

Hillsborough County ARES RACES will be participating in Field Day this year on Saturday, 6/25 starting at 2 PM & Sunday, 6/26 to 4 PM. We need your help to make it a success. We will be inviting local service and volunteer organizations, County department heads, and Emergency Management to field day to demonstrate radio operations.

  • You do not have to choose between ARES RACES and your local club. You can operate with both however, you cannot double dip by logging ARES RACES as a contact.
  • Seeking operators, loggers, and coaches to help new hams operate
  • A 4-hour shift is preferable, but shorter or longer shifts welcome
  • Goal – operate as a 2F (2 stations operating)
  • We will be operating from the County Mobile Command Vehicle and the RACES room.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or ideas for Field Day.

Sincerely,

Myesha Johnson

PIO, Hillsborough County ARES RACES
