2025 Summer Field day SHAKEDOWN!

Ralph - KC3KMT

Summer field day will be here before we know it! “Am I ready” is a question most hams ask themselves before any event. And typically afterwards there is a list of “forgottens” that we want to do better on next year. Here is our chance as a club to cross things off that list before the big event. Come out Saturday June 14th, to New Holland Community park (same location we will be doing field day at) 11:00 am to 5:00pm for a chance to operate radios and familiarize yourself with the clubs equipment. Have an antenna you want to experiment with? This will be a great chance with no operating pressure to try it out. Have a radio yourself that you want help with? Bring it along! Hamburgers,hotdogs, chips and drinks will be provided. Bring a friend or come make a friend, this will be a fun day for the club, in an extremely relaxed atmosphere.

2025 Summer Field Day

June 28-29

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

At the February meeting the board voted to hold the 2025 Red Rose Summer Field Day event at the New Holland Community Park. The address is 400 E. Jackson Street, New Holland. Pictured below is the pavilion that the club will be using. Note the red brick building to the right are bathrooms!

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. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

HamClubOnline Now Active!

Chris Bunting

The club is now utilizing a powerful state-of-the-art system called HamClubOnline or HCOL for short. This new system will allow us to better manage the club membership, events and assets. You may have already gotten an email welcoming you to the system. Simply visit https://www.hamclubonline.com, click “forgot password” and enter your callsign to get started. Or if you are a member of an existing HCOL-enabled club, you can use your existing password to access ALL clubs you are a member of. We plan on announcing events such as weekly nets, breakfasts, field day, and more through this new system via email. If you have any issues with HCOL, please reach out to N3CH.
