CLUB BREAKFAST
Every June, the ARRL sponsors Field Day, when clubs and individuals set up stations at temporary locations. As we have done the past three years, the Club will set up operations in Penn Forest Recreational Park on 903 on June 27th and 28th 2026, the number of transmitters to be determined. The coordinates of our station are 40.92769° N, 75.69486° W, if you want to put it in your GPS. In 2023, we made 168 contacts and achieved a score of 620. In 2024 we made 272 contacts and our score was 918. Even more significant was the increase in participants from 7 in 2023 to 20 for 2024. In 2025 we had a good turnout and another nice weather weekend for Field Day. This year's Field Day theme is "Amateur Radio: A National Resource." Come join us this year for another great Field Day weekend!
