ARRL Field Day / Not!

The Annual ARRL Field Day 2023 was to have been here June 24th & 25th but Mother Nature intervened with thunder & lightning and so it was decided that prudence would dictate that the event would be called off.

The author was in Maine on vacation and was planning on taking in Field Day from Pemaquid Point Lighthouse as in previous years but when arriving at the site there was no one there. It was raining there also but no thunder and lightning.

After “Field Day / Not”, the club covered the Harborfest 5K and 10K on July 29th. As with the Child Advocacy Run in April, RAIN was the order of the day but the 5K and 10K races went on in spite of it all and most of the runners seemed to be having a good time.

There is a new GMRS repeater operating from Rudy Reyes KD2DPA’s site in Orwell, operating on GMRS frequency 467.570 MHz for input and 462.570 MHz for output (R16 in GMRS), using PL tone 88.5.
