All Hands on Deck for Field Day!<\/strong>
The Cherryland Amateur Radio Club is planning another awesome Field Day for 2019!

It takes a\u00a0lot<\/strong>\u00a0of ham-power to make this a successful event!

This means we need you to come out and give us a hand setting up, taking down and operating at Field Day!

This year we are expecting to have:
– Dedicated 20M Phone station
– Dedicated 40M Phone station
– VHF\/Solar station
– 2 (yes two!) CW stations, multiple bands each.
– FT8 \/ Digital station
– GOTA (Get On The Air) station for people new to the hobby to try operating and make contacts!


To make all of this happen, we’ve got some work to do!

Here’s the rough schedule:

Tuesday, June 18th
In lieu of Project Night we will meet at Don Parker’s farm, 4786 E Hoxie Rd, Cedar MI. We will pick up the club’s trailer with generators, necessary antennas, kits, feedline, tower sections, and other necessities.
We will deliver these to the Field Day site at
10477 E Fort Rd, Suttons Bay, MI 49682.
(no set up is allowed until 2pm Friday. Staging only)

Friday, June 21st\u00a0at 2:00 PM.
Major antenna and tower erection activities. This is when we start the heavy lifting for setting up the Field Day site. We really need your assistance!

Saturday morning, June 22nd.
Finish setting up Field Day, install radios and get all the equipment operational.\u00a0

Saturday afternoon, June 22nd – 2pm.
Field Day begins with all stations operating. Come on out and operate or help log contacts. Everyone gets a chance to get on the air!\u00a0We have a special “Get On The Air” station and coach for all our new hams.\u00a0\u00a0

Sunday, June 23rd.
Operations continue until 2:00 PM when Field Day officially ends. Then the task of taking down the antennas and packing up the equipment begins. All hands on deck for taking down equipment and cleaning up the site.
