W9B 2021 Johnsonville Brat Days Special Event – Aug 7, 1500Z-2259Z – 10:00a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CDT

July 10, 2019 By W9VCL

Members will be working from their home QTH again this year.

Watch for W9B – Whiskey Nine Bratwurst! We will again be operating on 20m and 40m but keep an eye out for us on other bands. Spot us if you hear us!

QSL: Certificates featuring hand-drawn artwork from Joe Ash W9ODV will be available: W9VCL Sheboygan County Amateur Radio Club, 4235 N 29th Street, Sheboygan, WI 53083.

Please include $2.00 for an 8-1/2×11 certificate mailed unfolded in a manila envelope or send $1 and SASE #10 (certificate will be folded). Please do NOT send folded envelopes with postage affixed (the certificates get all bend-y) – we will use our own envelopes. Just want a PDF certificate? Email kc9yl@arrl.net to receive one at no charge!

Thanks for helping us celebrate Sheboygan’s 67th annual Brat Days!

Due to the unknown restrictions that will be in place in June, we will be opting out of in-person participation of Field Day 2021. Emergency rules will remain in place for this year. Members should use their own callsigns.

For Field Day 2021:

Class D stations may work all other Field Day stations, including other Class D stations, for points. This year, however, Class D and Class E stations will be limited to 150 W PEP output.
An aggregate club score will be published — just as it was done last year. The aggregate score will be a sum of all individual entries that attributed their score to that of a specific club.
Ordinarily, club names are only published in the results for Class A and Class F entries, but the temporary rule waiver for 2021 allows participants from any Class to optionally include a single club name with their submitted results following Field Day. The club must be listed EXACTLY: Sheboygan County ARC for the club to get credit for your scores.

Field Day

In past years we have set up at the Town of Sheboygan Firehouse Park for a one-day event on Saturday and are looking forward to that next year!

Brat Fry 2016

November 15, 2016 By W9VCL

Brat Fry 2016 – another successful year!

The brat fry is our yearly fund raiser that helps to defray the costs of insurance and other club operating expenses as well as provides funds for equipment upgrades that are needed. On April 30, 2016 we held our brat fry at the South Side Piggly Wiggly in Sheboygan.

This year John AB9HH and Linda K9TZU were gracious enough to organize this year’s event. Other members stepped to to lend a hand at our only fund raiser for the year.
