Northern Kentucky Amateur Radio Club
Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.
This year NKARC will again be operating from Lincoln Ridge Park in Independence (first shelter on the right). A "Get-on-the-Air" (GOTA) station will be available for members of the public to make contacts with other Field Day stations across the country and beyond. All ages are welcome!
It wouldn't be NKARC Field Day without great food, and this year will be no exception. Burgers and hot dogs will be grilled on Saturday, and if you have a special chili recipe that you are proud of,
bring a batch to share! Side dishes are needed too!
Set up will begin at 9:00am Saturday morning. Operations officially begin at 2:00pm, and we will operate continuously until around 10:00am Sunday morning. Help is always appreciated for tear-down!
IMPORTANT: If you plan on making Field Day contacts from home, you can still contribute to the club's score. When you submit your log, specify Northern Kentucky ARC as your affiliated club, and your points will be added to the club's overall score! Make sure you spell the club name exactly as shown above.
