Field Day

Field Day is held every year in June and gives amateur radio clubs around the country a chance to demonstrate their emergency operating skills. During a 24 hour marathon (Saturday 2 p.m. to Sunday 2 p.m.), radios are operated without commercial electrical power. Only batteries, generators, or other alternative energy sources, such as solar power, can be used to power radios.

Field Day 2008 will be on Saturday  June 28 and Sunday June 29.

Complete rules for 2008 are at:  http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/fd-2008-rules.pdf

As in the recent past, we will run two separate stations:

bullet1. The main station will be at the Governor Livingston High School atop the second Watchung Hill in Berkeley Heights. Directions to Main Station:

From Downtown New Providence (Springfield Ave and South St): Take South St. south up Murray Hill and through the traffic light at Mountain Boulevard. At this point, South St. becomes Glenside Road.  Continue on Glenside to the second left, Hunterdon Blvd.  Turn at the first right onto Somerset Place. The High School is at the end of Somerset. We will be operating from the lower parking lot which is downhill and not immediately in view.

From Route 78 Westbound: Take exit 43 onto Diamond Hill Rd north to the second light and turn right onto Mountain Ave. Turn right at the light on Glenside Ave. and then at the second left, Hunterdon Blvd.  Turn at the first right onto Somerset Place. The High School is at the end of Somerset. We will be operating from the lower parking lot which is downhill and not immediately in view.

From Route 78 Eastbound:  Take exit 43 and turn left onto Glenside Ave.  Take the first available left, Glenside Road, under Rt. 78 and up the hill to the first right, Hunterdon Blvd.  Turn at the first right onto Somerset Place. The High School is at the end of Somerset. We will be operating from the lower parking lot which is behind the school to the right and not immediately visible.


 
bullet2. In addition, there was a class 'F' station -- an Emergency Operating Center /RACES station -- at the American Red Cross Colonial Crossroads chapter building in Summit NJ at 695 Springfield Avenue (County Rd #512)) heading southwest from downtown Summit.
