W9OG ARRL Field Day 2023

TARS will participate in the 2023 ARRL Field Day (June 24-25) from the Southwestern Indiana Red Cross Chapter located at 29 South Stockwell in Evansville (the same building where our meetings are held). We plan to have four operating positions active along with a Get On The Air (GOTA) station - so whether you're a seasoned amateur radio veteran or new to the hobby, we have a spot available for you to make some contacts!  We'll start hanging antennas Friday evening June 23 at about 5:00 PM and setup of the stations will begin Saturday morning around 8:00 AM. Field Day kicks off at 1:00 PM Saturday afternoon so we should have plenty of time to assemble the gear and enjoy a little ham radio camaraderie before the event gets underway!

Field Day is open to EVERYONE!!

If you have an interest in seeing what ham radio is about come out and join us.

You don't need a license just some interest and we can get you on the air, with someone assisting you at the GOTA (Get On The Air) station.
