Winter Field Day 2022 is Moving inside!

By Tom Schaefer NY4I on 01/27/2022

Since the forecast is for temperatures this weekend in the high 40s and low 50s during the day and to be 44 overnight with 20 mph winds, the decision was made to move the operating positions inside the Fire Training Center. This will be the same room used for Summer Field Day so the operating should be more comfortable than it would have been outside.

Just a reminder, if you did not sign up already, your chance to reserve meals has passed so please bring your own if you want to come out and expect to eat.

An email will be sent tonight to everyone that already signed up.

And as always, if you want to operate or even just listen, bring your own headset. We do not share headphones and all radios have to use headphones.

Hello. I have been a member of SPARC on and off since 1992. I am the current president of the club. Formerly I was the Vice President under Ron KP2N and a board member for several years. I was heavily involved in the club station working with Ron KP2N, Dave KR4U and John KI4UIP. I was also a contributor to the SPARC Remote station which was used by several SPARC members to either augment their own stations or provide a station to use for those in HOAs or other living arrangements that kept them off of HF. We had quite a few users of the remote utilizing the RemoteHams software. I hope to strike a balance in SPARC between fostering operating skills, teaching new people about ham radio and also offer a great social experience to members that may just come to the meetings for camaraderie. As a general-purpose club, I believe SPARC can cater to all those aspects of our wonderful hobby. I hope you join me along the way...
