My XYL Valerie has volunteered to organize all the meals for field day this year. Since we starting the setup process early, there are more meals to accommodate than usual but we’ve maintained the same meal plan price as previous years. As a result, we’re behind on funds and we could use some help with cookies and overnight snacks for operators. We also could use some more bottled water. If you’re able to assist, please let me know. [email protected] is my email. Thanks & look forward to seeing everyone at the event!

Countdown to Field Day 2018
The Nashua Area Radio Society will again be participating in the ARRL Field Day event this weekend. We have a long history of participation in Field Day and you can read more about some of our previous Field Day operations here.
Field Day is about training and emergency preparedness, learning about new communications technology, and having fun!
We will be a 10A station this year with three towers and several high-performance wire antennas. You can read more about our Field Day 2018 plans here.
Our Field Day will be held at the Hudson Memorial School in Hudson, NH an will also feature an Amateur Radio Open House activity the students and parents that were part of our High Altitude Balloon Project 3. We will be supporting an ISS Crew Contact at Hudson Memorial School in November and we will have the primary ground station on-site at Field Day for satellite operations and testing. We are counting down to the beginning of our Field Day Operations –

N1FD Multiop First Place in 2017 June VHF Contest from SOTA
Chalk up another contest certificate for the Nashua Area Radio Society! We activated Pack Monadnock as part of our SOTA activities last year during the June VHF Contest.
Anita AB1QB, Curtis N1CMD, and I set up a battery/solar powered 6m station to work the contest and we received a certificate for our entry.
We used a 3 element yagi on a 25 ft mast and a 100W radio for our operation and we had a lot of fun!
We have another SOTA activation coming up on Mt. Kearsarge this weekend on Saturday, June 9th. You can read more about those plans here.
Don’t miss it!
