2020 Field Day Preparations for
Ak-Sar-Ben Amateur Radio Club Members
Adapted from an article by

The Ak-Sar-Ben ARC officers and board members want to encourage all club members to participate in this year’s FD by operating their own stations!
As most of you know this year’s AARC Field Day operation will not be the same usual Class A multi-station setup. Due to COVID-19, the club is taking social distancing precautions similar to many other clubs around the country. Instead of the usual operation, we are encouraging all club members to operate as individual or small group stations (within guidelines of social distancing and safe practices for all). Please mark your calendars now for Saturday, June 27 & Sunday, June 28th for FD. Operating begins at 1:00 PM CDT and ends 24 hours later.
