DARC ARRL Field Day 2022

KG5EIU event , , , , , , , , ,

ARRL Field Day is the single most popular HAM Radio on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada and is open to all FCC license classes. On the fourth weekend of June of each year, more than 35,000 radio amateur operators gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends and family to operate from remote locations. Field Day is a picnic, a campout, practice for emergencies, an informal contest and, most of all, FUN!  This year the DARC will host an in-person event at the Johnston Outpost YMCA in Farmers Branch. The festivities and event officially start at 1pm central time June 25, 2022 but the DARC crew in true fashion will be there early at 9am for setup. The DARC will be operating as 3A (Three Alpha) (section NTX) and will have 3 radios on the air during the event. Come join in the fun! Additional event/agenda details below.

tonyatmendina Uncategorized , , , ,

I’d like to ask you to put your thinking cap on and ponder what sort of classes or activities you’d like to be involved in at Tech Net on the Hill this October. Would you like to learn more about stealth antennas or kit building? Would you like to learn how to trim a dipole, or would you just like to get on the air using the club’s HF rigs? Come to tomorrow’s (8/2/2016) meeting and share, or send us a message with the form below. I’ll have my notes from past years, and I suspect Randy will, too…but if you don’t speak up for what you want, you might not get it.

Moon Day July 16, 2016

KG5EIU event ,

Full Moon Jan5, 2004

DARC will be at the Frontiers Of Flight Museum for Moon Day on July 16, 2016.

We’ll need at least four people at the table throughout most of the day (10AM – 5PM).  If you can help out please fill the form out below.

If you’ve not been to Moon Day – you’ve are missing out.  This annual event, always held around the anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, is designed to inspire kids to explore the sciences.  Dozens of exhibitors will be there extolling careers in the sciences.

We’ll be showing the kids the miracle of radio and how it is important in space communications.  We will demonstrate cross band repeat radio.  We’ll also be working with the AMSAT people (they have the booth next to ours) who will be making amateur satellite contacts.

We will also be bringing the Hexbeam for “Show and Tell”.

There’s plenty to do!  Plus, as an exhibitor, you get into the museum for FREE!
