Red River Radio Amateurs

Along with his usual Field Day antenna supplies, Dale WB6BYU brings along a handy table of wire lengths for each band for the antennas he is most likely to put up. This reference guide eliminates the need to calculate wire lengths in the field and can be easily shared with other operators who need to build an antenna.

W6BYU has published a version of his Field Day antenna length table at the Practical Antennas website

In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “ARRL Radiosport and Regulatory Information Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, and ARRL Contest Program Manager Paul Bourque, N1SFE, join the June episode of the podcast to spread the excitement about ARRL Field Day, which is coming up on June 22 - 23.”¹

Field Day is Amateur Radio’s open house. It is a picnic, a campout, practice for emergencies, an informal contest and, most of all, fun!

Field Day is held on the 4th weekend in June; in 2024 that is 1:00PM CDT Saturday, June 23rd, to 3:59PM CDT Sunday, June 24th

Everyone is invited!

These two easy to build Powerpole projects could be a useful addition to your gear bag or go-kit.
