2020 WINTER RADIO FIELD DAY

It is Saturday, January 25th on Jacksonville's west side at Lake Fretwell Park, 13725 Lake Fretwell Street in Cecil Commerce Center. 

The Duval County Amateur Radio Emergency Service invites you to visit and participate starting at 7:00AM and continuing until dark. 

Stations will use back-up power to simulate situations where ARES provides communications support when requested by relief agencies.

Portable high-frequency stations will make nationwide and international contacts using Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) antennas. 

These simple, low-altitude wire antennas are adaptable to many situations where back-up communications are needed.  They are also options when HOA or zoning restrictions prohibit towers and  beams.  Learn how to adapt them to your situation. 

If you plan to spend hundreds of dollars on a so-called stealth antenna, don't do so until you learn more about NVIS antennas.

Gain hands-on experience in station operation and antenna construction at Winter Radio Field Day.  Monitor the weekly Weds. Duval ARES net at 7:30pm on the W4IZ 146.7 MHz repeater for updates.
