The weather is starting to get cooler, and you know what that means!

After a long and hot summer, Saturday in The Park is back!

We’re kicking off this event with our fall picnic. Richard will be manning the grill, doing what he does best while ensuring everyone gets their fill! Are you an amateur radio operator or looking to get your license? Join us! Everyone is welcome for food, drink and camaraderie.

The third full weekend in October is Jamboree on The Air. This year, JOTA is October 20-22. Gulfstream Council is looking for volunteers to come to Camp Tanah Keeta to set up radio stations and help get scouts on the air. More information available at https://www.gulfstreamcouncil.org/JOTA2023. If you are interested in volunteering, you will need to complete the Youth Protection Training at scouting.org

If you are not available to go to the park physically, please consider getting on the air and making contact with some scouts. The Leader’s Guide has a list of suggested frequencies for JOTA activity

We will be conducting our Field Day operations off the power grid at The American Legion Post 47, located at 2315 North Dixie Highway, Lake Worth, FL 33460. The event begins at 1800 UTC (2 pm) on June 24, and ends at 2059 UTC (8:59 pm) on June 25.

The operational hours for all guests, including guest operators and visitors will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday the 24th and end at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday the 25th.

During those guest operational hours everyone is welcome! If you’d like to come by to observe, just to see what we’re doing and what Field Day is like, we welcome you! If you’d like to sit at one of our stations and operate, we welcome you!

While we will be operating off the main grid, The American Legion will have full power and air conditioning. Food and drinks will be available. Prices are to be determined.

No invitation is necessary, just come on over!

We will do our best to monitor the 146.67 repeater for the talk-in. For more information on that repeater, please go here – The AREC Repeater Group, Inc.

We are all very excited to be doing Field Day this year, and we hope to see YOU this weekend! 

This will be the first Field Day for nearly every operator, including myself. We are not focused on points. We are looking to learn and have fun doing it!

As with every event we sponsor, everyone is invited… members, non-members, participants and observers, come one, come all!

We don’t usually make announcements for our Tuesday Net; however, our net controller for this coming Tuesday, Jeff – KM4UBL, tells me he’s got something special planned. I even don’t know what it is, so we will have to tune in to find out!

If you enjoy using this repeater, please consider supporting it by joining. And for those who already have, thank you. We can’t do it without you!
