WVARA\u2019s WFD Planning Team (L-R): Curt (W6RQ), Jim (WU0I), Jim (K6EI), Tim (KN6FGH), Clay (N5YJZ), and Scott (KK6IK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WVARA will be participating in Winter Field Day this upcoming weekend (Jan 24-25) from the campground at Sunset Beach State Park.  This event runs from 8am Saturday until 2pm Sunday.  You can learn more about Winter Field Day at: https:\/\/winterfieldday.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.We plan to have between six and eight stations in operation.  We\u2019ll be using callsign N6N and will be running QRP with basic antennas \u2014 nothing fancy.  Since Sunset Beach is a State Park, our contacts will also count as a POTA activation (US-3574)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to drop by and say hi.  Sunset Beach is a very nice place to relax, have a picnic lunch and enjoy the day. And if you\u2019d like, you can probably help operate a station and get POTA credit while you\u2019re at it.  Just be aware that there is a $10 park admission fee, $9 for seniors, for each vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a map showing the location of our site:  https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/TYP1pZPHGdv9eA7GA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The red circles in the map below show our campsites:<\/p>\n\n\n
