Field Day 2024 is in the books. We are not a contesting club so points mean nothing to us. We spent the weekend operating at the MIDWEST RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION show grounds operating the EM50 with 100% solar power. We had fun played radio and found weaknesses we can address to make improvements. That is a successful Field Day.

We will still be operating the entire 24 hour Field Day period. The EM50 is fully enclosed, a/c if needed, lots of seating and plenty of radio action to be had. Stop out to the MREA show grounds. Say Hi, grab a cold one and sit down at a radio if you wish.
