In preparation for Field Day, we are going to have our annual antenna party on Saturday, May 10, at 10am in the parking lot of Pinecone Lumber — 895 E Evelyn Ave in Sunnyvale — https://goo.gl/maps/zmXCCxp7tRNsTp1b7   

This is our opportunity to assemble and test our HF yagi on its tower,   Hope to see you there!

BTW, we are also looking for someone with a truck who might be available to tow the WVARA tower trailer between my QTH and the antenna party site.

We’re making plans for WVARA’s Field Day operation on Mora Hill June 27-29. Feel free to fill out our on-line participant survey so that we can include you.
