Field Day 2023
Field Day is almost here, and, our 2023 Field Day will mark our 16th consecutive year of participation. In 2009, we obtained our official Club Callsign of K6OAU (the OAU standing for Outdoor Adventure USA), and have been using it ever since. We value Amateur Radio for a number of reasons, including emergency/disaster situations, communication in remote areas (where no cell phone coverage exists), APRS, vehicle navigation off-road, hiking, and many others. We will use this net to highlight the value of Ham radio, and why it can be valuable for you too. We also intend to highlight the unique way we operate for this event. Just as important, we will discuss why visiting, and hopefully participating in, a Field Day, can be to your advantage.
While we naturally promote our Field Day, we recognize that some want a different experience or one that is closer to home. For whatever reason, we believe that Field Day holds important information for every Ham Radio operator. That information includes getting to know fellow Hams and their Amateur Radio groups in your community, seeing first hand the capabilities of our communications, and, hopefully, planting a seed to equip you and your family with the means to communicate in the event of a natural disaster or an emergency. Whether you attend our event or not, we encourage all Hams to visit a Field Day this year. And, in that regard, you can check this link to locate an event nearest to you: https://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose to join our event, more information and sign-ups are available here: https://forums.oausa.net/viewtopic.php? ... 501#p37675
