SBARC Members
Field Day 2011 is Saturday, June 25 to Sunday, June 26. We still need operators and other helpers for this event.
The Santa Barbara Radio Club has been invited to the Camino Real Marketplace (Costco / Home Depot Mall) for this event. We will be located about 50 yards south of Starbucks.
The schedule is:
Friday, June 24 1 PM to 5 PM Setup Station(s)
5:30 Pizza Party at Ginos
Saturday, June 25 9 AM to 3 PM Public Information and Demonstrations
11 AM Start of Field Day
Sunday, June 26 9 AM to 2 PM Public Information and Demonstrations
11 AM End of Field Day
12:30 PM Club BBQ at Girsch Park
Note that Field Day runs continuously for a 24 hour period.
The Camino Real Marketplace is a great location to show ham radio in operation to the public. The public location will not compromise our Field Day operation. We will continue to operate in ‘contest mode’, getting as many points and making as many contacts as possible. Camino Real Marketplace is planning on having an Emergency Preparedness / Technology Fair. They want to invite the Red Cross and the City of Goleta for Emergency Preparation education.
SBARC will make signs to attract the public and have brochures available. We need club members, family, and friends to help with this event.
The positions needed are :
Station Setup Assemble Force 12 antenna and test station operation Friday afternoon.
Radio Operators Operators needed to work two hour shifts. More than 1 operator per shift is recommended.
Contact Loggers Work with operators to log contacts.
Public Information Answer questions, hand out information, etc. We need members to help with this.
Public Demonstrations Present ham radio topics to public. Examples are Satellite Communication, Amateur Television, Disaster Communications, etc. Demonstration schedule will be posted.
