ARRL Field Day 2024 – meeting prep

January 15th saw eight IslandHF Radio Association members meet for coffee, Tim Bits (thank you, Pierre) and the first discussion about and preparations for the ARRL Field Day in June, June 22-23, 2024, specifically.

Since IslandHF is a relatively new radio club it has no history of Field Days. This meeting was about visioning the event and starting the discussion of how we do it. Bottom line – with lots of work.

What is truly exciting though are discussions about partnering with the Canadian Arm Forces specifically the Royal Canadian Navy. CFARS (Canadian Forces Affiliate Radio System) is a big thing with the Navy. So the ARRL Field Day 2024 will be a very special event.
