    FIELD DAY! Contact your Section Manager or Section Emergency Coordinator via NTS for additional points!!
    I wish each and every Amateur in the Nevada Section the best of luck on Field Day.

    Please be safe, drink plenty of liquids and have a great time. Get those extra points by sending the Section Manager and / or Section Emergency Coordinator an NTS formatted message. See the official Field Day Rules for details. Don and I will be monitoring the IRLP linked repeaters around the state as well as other frequencies.

    Looking for an established site to see what it's all about? Go to ARRL.org and use the Field Day Locator: http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/fd/locator.php There are are currently 12 sites posted around Nevada.

    Even if you are a Technician, you can participate under the supervision of a General or higher class control operator on the bands below 10 meters. Catch the HF bug and have a great time. Send photos in to the soap box or to me for publication on our Section Website!
