San Antonio Hams

Howdy neighbors,

Some of the guys and gals in the N5OAK Oak Hill ARC (based in South Austin) will be operating from a small farm near Luling for Winter Field Day on January 28th and 29th, and I thought I’d extend an invitation to all of the fine folks in the area to stop by for a visit.

We’ll be running CW, digital modes, and voice on 160m-70cm, through a variety of antennas and rigs, so if you’d like to join us, you’re welcome to come see what we’re up to and hang out for a while, and you’re also welcome to operate from any of our stations. You are also more than welcome to bring your licensed and unlicensed friends and family.

When: January 28th thru 29th, 1 PM to 1 PM

Where: 125 Horseshoe Bend, Luling, TX 78648

What: WinterFieldDay.com

Who: Everyone is invited (hosted by members of the N5OAK ARC)

If you have any questions, please email me at blake.ormand@gmail.com, or give me a call at 512-699-3644.

Hope to see you there!
