Dave, VA3FOI announced that Field Day will be taking place at the Firemen's Park in Niagara Falls. Join in the fun of Field Day. A chance to make as many contacts as possible under trying conditions. If you are new to the hobby, this will be your introduction to contesting. Have fun setting up generators, radios, tents and antennas. Have fun using solar, wind, batteries or generators to power your radio. This once a year contest keeps us amateurs ready in the unlikely event the grid goes down. It is fun, it is outdoors, it is what amateur radio is all about.
This year NPARC members will be getting together Saturday June 28th and Sunday June 29th, 2008 in Niagara Falls, Ontario at Firemen's Park on Mountain Road. Contact Bob, VE3HNH at bob.ve3hnh@cogeco.ca if you would like to help with this fun event. If you like camping, you will love Field Day.
