We especially would like to have some folks operate CW at Field Day as well as to operate our station during the overnight period on Saturday/Sunday. We will have good lighting during the nighttime hours.
Sign-Up To Be a Field Day Coach!
Field Day at the Nashua Area Radio Society is all about learning and trying new things. We encourage you to sign-up to operate our stations and to learn about modes and bands you may not have experience with. In addition to our planned training, we will have Field Day Coaches available to help you get started and learn to use our Station, and have fun operating.
The signup sheet has a place to sign up to be a Field Day Coach and we encourage our more experienced members to sign up for coaching as well as to operate.

Field Day Tech Night
We will be holding our Field Day 2021 Tech Night this coming Tuesday, June 8th at 7 pm. We will cover how to operate our Field Day stations and answer all of your questions then. The Zoom Link for our Tech Night is here.
Logistics for Field Day
We will be operating in the Open-Air Pavillion at Keyes Memorial Park. This will provide shelter should we have any rain. The Pavillion is one-air and this will facilitate safe social distancing and an outdoor environment.
We encourage everyone to get vaccinated for COVID-19 if possible before Field Day. Our site is set up to facilitate social distancing and we will have masks and sanitization supplies available onsite for those who need them.
Several members have graciously volunteered to handle Take Out food runs during Field Day operations. We will also have water and light snacks available.
If you have any questions about Field Day, please post them as part of this thread or email us at [email protected]. We hope that you’ll join us for Field Day!
