What is Field Day?
Field Day is an operating event sponsored by the ARRL whose purpose is to demonstrate the communications ability of the amateur radio community in simulated emergency situations. To learn more about Field Day and the OARC, please see the Field Day information page.
OARC Field Day plans for 2024 UPDATED!
Field Day (FD) is coming up soon! Harrie has, via his contacts, been able to get us Scout Headquarters as this year’s site. Located on Baseline Road, next to Walmart, no one can say that we are remote. In my mind, the new site is excellent in many ways, but it also has its challenges.
Scout Headquarters is at 1345 Baseline Road, Ottawa. Parking is free in the SHQ lot.
Due to potential Scout involvement, we are looking at having a GOTA station that Harrie has kindly indicated that he may oversee.
We will run 2 Alpha, with CW and FT8 as Primary Stations Plus VHF/UHF and GOTA stations are added as free. Meals will be provided by Janice Neelands VA3PAX at Saturday noon, Saturday 6 PM, and Sunday noon.
Thanks and I am looking forward to your participation.

Volunteers of all sorts needed!
We are looking for volunteers to help set up, tear down, and operate.
