Live Updates! http://www.dallasfieldday.us/ http://picasaweb.google.com/ke5icx/ http://www.ustream.tv/ke5icx It's that time again, and the Dallas Amateur Radio Club in association with Dallas REACT will, once again, set up operations for ARRL Field Day at Flagpole Hill, in Dallas, TX - located at Northwest Highway and Bruckner Blvd. Everyone is welcome. Map. We will be setting in the Pavilion. We will have two air conditioned trailers, running water, and electrical for outdoor fans.  That is what you have rolled into one event when you come and attend the Dallas Field Day! This is a joint field day of the Dallas Amateur Radio Club and Dallas County REACT. Its purpose is to support the Field Day 2009 operation at Flagpole Hill. Field Day is always the last full weekend in June.
 Field Day actually starts on the air at 1:00pm Saturday, June 27th, and ends 1:00pm Sunday, June 28th, this year. Our activities will start on Friday afternoon. We will begin gathering around 3:00 p.m. to start taking over our area and setting up, and even get in some late night “rag chewing”.
We will cap off Friday evening with a Spaghetti dinner, compliments of your DARC President Randy KE5JIT. He thinks he might even get Dallas REACT President Terry KC5BHR involved in the festivities.
We are requesting and hoping that we have a great turn out for families or individuals who are able and would like to spend the weekend camping out with us – remember this is a City of Dallas Park and no alcoholic beverages are permitted. We had several folks that camped with us last year and had a great time.
You can sign up and try your hand at contesting by going to the Dallas REACT site and pick a station and time. Sign up here! We will start Saturday morning out early completing set up and being ready to CQ CQ CQ CQ with our callsign W5DCR at 1:00 p.m! We will be operating 3 C with a GOTA station.
For those in attendance, DARC and Dallas REACT will provide a free meal Friday and Saturday evening, June 26 and June 27, 2008.
The menu will consist of smoked brisket, smoked sausage, potato salad, slaw, baked beans and the trimmings (subject to change-final planning not complete at time of writing). Who knows, we might even have dessert?
Food will be served until it runs out! It is a "first-come first-served event".
After a busy day of operating Field Day, the meal will be served at approximately 6:30 PM on Saturday.
For all members of DARC and Dallas REACT, and any visitors (visitors are more than welcome), we would like to have you join us for the fun, the educational opportunity, and plentiful FOOD! See you there and bring your appetite, you will need it. |

Monthly Member MeetingsMonthly meetings of the Dallas Amateur Radio Club occur on the First Tuesday of Each Month. Brookhaven Church, 13000 Marsh Ln, Dallas, TX, Southeast corner of Marsh and Valley View. Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and usually last until around 8:30 p.m. Each monthly meeting is broken down into 2 sections. The program is held first -- this is so that a presenter isn't forced to sit through the club's business. These can vary from a Fox Hunt to an Old-Timers program, where we hear from the club Elmers on anything from technical questions to good 'ol Ham stories. The club business meeting is next, where all new club business is brought before the members to discuss and vote on, as well as any new member applications that are needed to be acted upon. Finally, any new or old business is discussed and the meeting is adjourned. These monthly meetings are a great way to get out and meet other Amateur Radio enthusiasts in our area! We welcome newcomers to the club Upcoming Meeting TopicsSome upcoming club meeting topics include: - June - Jim McMasters KM5PO will discuss the finer points of SWOT (Side-Winders-On-Two), DXing on 2 meters! and Field Day 2009 - Our Plan for Fun.
- July - We'll be discussing how well Field Day 2009 went. Also, we are working on scheduling a speaker. Watch this space for more information over the coming days.
Members and visitors are welcome! Monthly Board MeetingsMonthly Board meetings of the Dallas Amateur Radio Club are now at 6:00p.m. the first Tuesday of the month, BEFORE the Regular Club Member Meeting.
