Field Day 2019
Field Day 2019———it was a success!
Setup began at 10:00 a.m. at the Town of Sheboygan Firehouse Park. In total, the club had 2 operated 2A with an additional GOTA station. Simple/wire antennas made the set-up a snap and we enjoyed a pleasant day in the park. We made a total of 96 contacts on 5 bands and had a few hams stop by to check out the operation.
Join us next year – the fourth full weekend in June for Field Day 2020!
Who we are and what we do……
SCARC meets monthly – 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. (NOTE: NEW MEETING TIME: 6:30 p.m.) We currently meet at the Mead Library – 710 N 8th Street in Sheboygan. We are looking for a site for our radio station. All radios, equipment and antennas have been placed in storage.
Do you have ideas for future club activities? Speakers? Project nights? Bring them to the meeting.
Weekly nets continue on Sunday mornings (2m @ 10:30 a.m.) and Monday evenings (2m @ 8:00 p.m. sometimes preceded by 10m @ 7:30 p.m. ).
Next Monthly Meeting – Wednesday, January 8 @ 6:30 p.m. – Mead Library in downtown Sheboygan
John KD9MRJ is planning to give a D-Star demonstration.
Club meetings welcome interested hams, or folks who are just getting started in the hobby. If we can’t answer your questions, we’ll find someone who can!
Topics to be discussed are up for grabs at this point and vary from month to month. Do you have an idea for a presentation or speaker?
If you have a topic you would like to see discussed, or have an idea for a presentation or a guest speaker, please contact one of the officers, or post to the Facebook group – As of December 2019, the Yahoo Groups – Sheboygan County Amateur Radio Club will only be used for announcements or event notices.
We currently are looking for a new “home” for SCARC. All radio equipment is in storage. If you have an idea of a good spot where we could meet and set up our station, we’re open to suggestions.
