AL7MO at the GOTA station
CARC will be hosting Field Day at the Sesquicentennial State Park Retreat Center on June 22-23. Setup will begin at 9 AM with the official start of the event at 2 PM.
This is the largest on-air event in the US and Canada with over 35,000 participants in 2012. CARC welcomes everybody to participate whether you have a license or not. And if you’ve never had a chance to see what “HF” communications can do, you should definitely come to Field Day and see what it’s all about. With a simple wire antenna we are able to contact other stations all over the continent and world.
CARC will operate a 4A or 5A operation which means 4 or 5 active HF stations using generator or battery power. We also plan to have a GOTA Station (a station setup specifically for newly licensed, unlicensed, or inactive licensees) courtesy of the SCHEART system and depending on available equipment, we will also have a 6 meter station.
The Columbia Amateur Radio Club hosted an exhibition and activity booth at the Mini Maker Faire on Saturday, June 1, at EdVenture in downtown Columbia.
The board of directors for the Columbia Amateur Radio Club is proud to announce the launch of our newly-developed website!
