Photos: Field Day 2009
The 2009 ARRL Field Day took place on the weekend of June 27 and 28. As in
past years, the FCARC Field Day operation took place at Poet's Seat, on the
summit of Greenfield's own Rocky Mountain.
Our operation in Class 2A featured cw and ssb stations operating
continuously for almost 24 hours, starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
In addition we had a VHF station on 6 meters and a GOTA (Get On The Air)
station for newcomers and inactive hams. The two main stations were located
in the club trailer, maintained for use as a mobile emergency communications
center. The GOTA and VHF stations were set up on the ground level of the
Poet's Seat tower, highly visible to visitors to this scenic spot. The tower
itself was used to support the ends of three wire antennas and a six meter
beam.
