The Guadalupe Valley Amateur Radio Club will be again holding Field Day at WQ5C’s QTH on River Road. We’re planning on running a home station on emergency power, along with a temporary station, and possibly a “Get On The Air” station reserved for inactive hams. The highlight will be a KE5DFK brisket masterpiece on Saturday evening and Gary K5GST’s prize winning apple pies & cupcakes. All hams & their families are encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n
We emphasize FUN over competition.
