Hope to see all at Field Day 2013
The LAARC (Los Angeles Amateur Radio Club) will be hosting the 2013 annual ARRL's Field Day on the campus of the California State University at Dominguez Hills. Field Day is a yearly event where Amateur Radio Operators from around the world set out to the "fields" and simulate emergency operations by using temporary locations, power sources, and antennas. The goal is to make as many contacts as posible in a two-day period and have a good time while doing it. Field Day is on the third weekend of June 2013. This time FIELD DAY will be June 22 and 23, 2013 (Saturday and Sunday). We will sart at 12:00 noon Saturday and contact as many 'Hams' as we can and end at 12:00 noon Sunday. Everyone's welcome to come and operate "Ham" radio including other HAM club members.. We do need some dedicated licensed operators to man the other Field Day stations and make contacts and we can make room for other hams to get in some operating time.
We will have a CW (code for the uninformed), (2) two SSB (single side band) and VHF/UHF stations all working on different bands and modes. The club will operate as W6QET 3A LAX. We will set up our stations in Parking Lot 1 of the CSUDH campus located at the far east end of the school
