Join W8GVU and W8DC (Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association) for the largest amateur radio event of the year, Field Day!
Field day is a 24 hour long event where amateur radio operators and clubs activate in fields around the country with the goal of making as many contacts as possible in the time period, while operating at a temporary station. This event is based in emergency preparedness, where the goal is to practice setting up an emergency station running on emergency power (solar, generator, etc...) in case it is ever needed in a time of need.
We'll be activating in the Ravine's center on GVSU's Allendale Campus from June 25-26, where everyone is welcome to come by, weather it be to just hang out, or learn how to use the radio! Operating will start at 1800 UTC Saturday and go to 2059 UTC Sunday, but we'll be there earlier for setup.
We will have a "get on the air" (GOTA) station where anyone can get on the radio, regardless if you have a amateur radio license or not.
