We plan on starting around 8AM There is plenty of space and trees for field operations if you want to bring equipment and setup.  We techincally don't have to leave the property until midnight.

The 71st Anniversary Dinner is quickly approaching. I wanted to share a few details about the dinner with you. This year's dinner will be a little different then past anniversary dinners. This year the dinner will be a fundraising event with a silent auction before the dinner, all silent auction earnings and a portion of your meal purchase will also be donated to the Sangamon Valley Radio Club in order to purchase new equipment and help us maintain our current equipment for the club station.

This is a ARRL sponsored event that hams and ham clubs all over the country participate in. If you haven't done so, contact SVRC Field Day co-chair Ron Bakunas, KC9TEP.
